E-body floor pans
« on: May 16, 2006 - 06:37:39 AM »
Hello all,
Was wondering since I'm a b-body guy. Are the front floor pans the same for all five years on an E-body or are there little differences. I have a friend with a '70 'Cuda that wishes to find a passenger floor pan that's OEM, not reproduction. Not the complete section, just the flat horizontal section........

Thanks,
Troy

Repro trunk pans, same for Cudas and Challs. Add hole for filler where needed.

Thanks all,

The reason I'm asking is that my friend seems to think that the contour groove angle isn't the same between the OEM originals and the reproduction. Anyone have any insight?

That's been a complaint for some time. It's a function of the stampings used to create the reproductions. They aren't being made using the orginal dies.

Thanks Steve.. Didn't know it was an issue. Luckily, I've never had need to replace a floor pan before...........

I want to agree with you there because I tried to put later year seat belts in my car, and the retractors would not fit under the rear seat no matter what I tried. So I believe in the later years(72-74), they must of had some sort of provision for retractors that the 70 didn't have.
