Im looking for floor pans for my 1982 Olds Custom Cruiser..i cant find any repair panels for that Olds year...anyone know of similar makes or models that might work?

 

I looked for pans for my '85 Parisienne .. no joy. You're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way.

 

Just weld any thicker gauge steel onto it. it's a rusty 82'. OR You could buy a nicer 82' for a couple grand.

 

Any 1977-1990 B-body GM uses the same floorpans. Caprice/Impala, Delta 88, etc.

 

My 82 is actually very clean 1 owner,85,000 original miles//im replacing the floor pan because the driver side was lowered onto a jack stand,which poked a hole in the floor...the passenger side is fine..your ignorant comment is the reason i dont join forums..if you cant help shut the **** up...sorry to the rest of the forum

 

...

Joe ...thanks for the info

 

Guy just made a suggestion. It's responses like that that get a new guy with a suspension for a few days. Consider this a warning

 

That doesn't sound like it needs replaced ... any competent bodyman should be able to hammer it back into shape and weld the hole up in under an hour. It's a whole lot less work to fix that than cut out the pan and replace it ... should you find one at all. It's not like it's a fender that has to be mirror perfect.

 

"Its a rusty 82'" is not a suggestion. So don't threaten me with a good time by saying you're going to suspend me...

 

Let's all chill please. Look, in fairness you didn't specify why you needed a floorpan, and the reality is that usually it's because of rust. We now know that isn't the case, but you didn't make that clear earlier.

As you pointed out, it sounds like a localized repair to an otherwise nice car, so you now have some options for finding what you need. The rest of us also need to chill a little here.

 

I think j's comment was based on the fact he assumed it was a rust bucket. I would not go through the trouble of replacing the floor pan if it's not rusty. I would fix or salvage what's there. Sheet metal is cheap and any sheet metal shop can rol some beads on it for little to no money. I did floor pans on my friends elcamino this way. It's an 82 no matter what it's not a w30 or w31 where it would justify for me atleast to replace it with a correct piece. Even on my 72 I didn't make a big deal on certain things. Just a plain cutlass s.

 

And being a keyboard bully is not accepted here either. If you read most of the posts on this forum you'll find that it's mostly cordial and very respectful. There is absolutely no reason ever for the highlighted remark.

For the dent and hole in your floor I also agree that a floor plan replacement may be over kill. The same happened to mine sometime in the past prior to me owning it. I just hammered it back down and patched the small hole.
