1959 Floor Pans

19594mydad · July 7th, 2007, 07:34 PM

My mom is looking to restore 1 of 4 1959 cars my father had. We're trying to find a place where we can get floor pans for the one that is currently driveable. Can anyone get us started in the right direction?

59 Chevy pans are reproed...the fronts fit perfect...the rear pans need to be lengthened for a 98...ya might try using the pans from a parts car if ya have one with good floors.

I want to be sure I understand correctly... we could get the complete floor pan kit for a 59 chevy and use that for the 59 olds? Wow... that's a heck of a lot easier trying to find olds floor pans. I know the car she's working on is very drivable, but not as safe as it should be. If the car is an 88 or super 88 or sedan (not sure what styles there were in that year) the floor pans will fit okay?

Forgot to ask if there was any particular model of 59 Chevy floor pans?

I have a 59 98. I bought the repro pans, 2 front and one rear. All model chevy pans are the same.....the fronts fit perfectly while the back ones were not as long and I believe this was because of the longer wheelbase that the 98 has.

Street signs work well too
