1963 f-85 parts

oldsformeplz · 01-23-2007, 10:13 PM

hello all, i'm new to the site. so please be kind. i have all but finished a 70 442 clone. and have started on the next project a 63 f-85 conv. but i'm finding that parts aren't redilly available as they are for my 70. really need floor and trunk pans to start with (with many parts to follow am sure). any idea of a source for these parts would be appreciated. am sure i can fab the floor pans . but, want to go for the right parts, instead of the "what will work" parts.
thanks!!

Hve you coincidered a donor car for parts? At least then you'd have exact parts.

i have thought of a donor car. that was the thought of the bulk purchase of the coupe and the buick. but, the pans aren't in any useable shape on either car. i think i can salvage the trunk pan from the coupe.but, it still leaves me with the floors. another thing i'm not sure of is if the floor pans are a "one year only" thing like the rest of the car. the killer part about all this is that the subframe structure is clean but, the pans themselves are just rotten.thanks for the reply!!! much appreciated!!
