Question 62 starfire 2 door coupe floor pan replace

Hey Folks, Newbe to this forum.
Have a 62 Starfire coupe been in my family since 62. Starting a resto and need to know if the aftermarket pans for a 62 chevy Impalla will work in this olds. Have not been able to find any listed for Olds.
Thanks

The 62 Impala uses an "X" frame.




The 62 Olds uses a perimeter frame. The floor pans are different to match the frame.

Welcome to Classic Olds, great place to get the answers you're looking for. The 61/62 full size olds floor pans are not available in the aftermarket as reproduction. Your best chance at replacing them is from a doner car. There is a guy in Mi. who is making a pan that with a lot of work will fit but won't be anything near original (it will cover or replace holes only) I have seen a few people parting out or selling a roller car for parts that would work for you. Where are you located?

Yes sir, I understand. Even though at the time about 5 years ago I made 64-65 GTO pans work on this 64 F-85 Pro-Touring build. The creases don't match very well but thanks to carpet! Went out and bought a welder learned how to weld and fabricate somewhat or I would have never built this car do to excessive $$$$$ sending it out to be done (I'm already in way over my head). You have a much more desirable ride to invest in and welcome to the CLUB. A lot of very knowledgeable guys here, I learned from.

64-67 A-body pans are the same. Differences were likely due to crappy stampings. 61-64 B-body pans are not all the same due to completely different frames.

Exactly what I was gonna say. He "made" crappy floor pans work in a car they were designed for. Has nothing to do with helping this guy.
