Question about Floor pans for 88's

This may sound stupid, but are the floor pans the same for 88 versus 98 convertibles? The year would be 1967.

I would guess that's true, but just a guess. Send a Private Message to Kennybill, he has a lot of experience with that vintage of full sized cars. If you send a Private Message he'll get an email telling him so, that may get a faster response than posting a message here. John

The 98 has a longer wheelbase than the 88, so there's a difference someplace.

Hmmmmm, there is a 3" difference in the wheelbase, 98 is longer. I do have a 1967 Olds 98 two-door solid "parts" car. It is SOLID but it is a lot of work cutting out floorboards. Talk to u later, maybe. Ken

I have a 67 Delmont convertible. There is a hole about the size of my hand in the rear driver side pan between where the seat belts fasten . So, I'm looking not for the whole floor pan, but just a piece to weld in. If need be, I could fabricate/weld some sheet metal. The rest of the floor is fine.

That part of the floor should be the same for any 65-70 B-body convertible. Check with the Impala restoration vendors.

How is the "trunk filler panel," it is the piece between the top and the trunk opening, it has the trunk hinges attached to it? The 67 & 68 convertible rust through there. I have this section. Hows' your core support? I have a nice one. Top assenbly? I have one. Dash pad? I have one, plus other knick-knacks. Ken

Thanx for the offer, Basically, all of those are fine. I bought this car 23 years ago and I'm bringing it back after being in storage for 17 years . Things I do need:
  1. headlight bezel
  2. Top switch
  3. steering wheel center cap
  4. driver side lower tail light trim
