Exclamation Floor Pans

Hey Guys,

So I just got an 73 Olds Delta 88 Royale Convertible. The only thing missing is the floor pans from the rear of the driver and passenger seat to the beginning of the trunk. I have looked everywhere online, but have had no luck finding any replacement parts. Anyone have any ideas as to where I can find replacement floor pan.

Arizona / New Mexico junkyards.

They all rot out there, so the desert is probably your only choice.

Absolutely - any 2-door, convertible or coupe, should do it.

Hey I have looked through many websites and cannot find replacement floorpans for any of these models. Do you know of any sites that have these products. I looked through the classic insudtries catalog for the impala also.

As Copper and I said, you have to find them in a junkyard or a parts car.

These cars are not popular and nobody is making parts like these for them.

Check with the lowrider guys they restore a lot of b bodies. Maybe impala bob's or some other vendor those guys use might have something.

Build your own if there are no other options

I'm restoring and customizing a '67 Delmont and am building floor pans for the front. If you have to do this cut out the rusted areas, cut a template out of cardboard, use the template to cut the sheet metal, and install. The install part is a pain in the rear. Choose a corner or area, tack weld it (MIG) in a corner, hammer it to fit (inch by inch), tack weld, hammer, tack weld, hammer, and then run a continuous weld. Grind when finished. Not easy but you can make suitable replacements. My car is a custom so, after cutting out the rust I made several patch plates that covered the holes as well as some of the good remaining steel (for strength). It will take some sealing and smoothing on the bottom of the car.

Nice work I need to buy a mig welder but lucky for me my floor pans were good.Parts really are a bugger for the bigger older not as popular models of cars.Sure you can get lots of parts for a cutlass or say chevys version chevelle.But quarters rockers and many parts for a delmont or other large model not so easy.I looked it over and most of a culass quarter would work on a delmont granted your whole quarter was not shot.I wonder if cutlass floor pans would work in a delmont or delta of the same year.Seems alot of parts are interchangable though they say they are not.
