Does anyone out there have a spare rear floor pan they would be willing to sell? This is the one under the rear seat and over the rear frame cross member.
Thanks.

Jim,
I too am looking for one of these pans as the one I have is pretty fragile. My neighbor has been considering how to fabricate one, although I do not know what his timeframe might be. Would you be interested in seeing what we come up with?

Jim Howell`s sheet metal in Texas 409-727-1999 makes the rear pan he makes them with a steel hump in them and two spot welded pieces on the ends so tell him not to cut the hole for the cross member and not to weld it, when you get it you can cut out the hole and bend the lip around it and inlay the end pieces and weld them in. I had him make one for me but I found a mint original and sold the one I had. John Hash

Hi, John.
I talked to Kirk on the telephone regarding the option that his neighbor might fabricate the piece for him and, while he's at it fabricate one for me. During that conversation, Kirk told me that the pan he has includes a covering over the frame cross member that is made of some kind of fabrick. From what you're saying, I conclude that this may not be correct.
Perhaps you would be willing to email a photo of yor original floor pan so I can actually see what we're talking about and, when I get Kirk's email address, I can forward the photo to him.
Thanks for the advice and thanks, again, for the use of the wheel well die you loaned to me.

Jim I will take a picture of my original and Email it to you, the cover over the rear cross member is fabric mine looks like brown check upholstery with four metal strips sewn in around it and you screw down through it to the pan , Howell sheet metal put a metal hump in them like a tudor and your rear spring will hit on top of it.

Jim, I have several extras of this pan. Some have small pin holes but no real "disease". Email me directly if you wish resdns@comcast.net.
I do not have the pan over the spring, just the floor tub.
