Mine is rusted back past the battery box and I need to replace it. I have cut the spot welds loose and removed it to patch the floor but I will need a replacement. I would like to get a whole floor pan and seat pan riser but I see they one hve them for the pickups. I could probably use my top if I cut it off but I would need the metal shell for the bottom.
Thanks
Still trying to get ole Betsy back on the road.

Perhaps someone else can verify. I was just over at Carolina Trim Shop here in Spartanburg this past week and they had a full pan for a pickup. I'm not sure of his supplier but if you'd like to contact them their number is 864-208-8887
Mike or Victor will answer. Tell them Alvin told you to call and they may give you a little better deal. I've known them for years and they're good guys.
They are not in the "parts business" but have connections that may save you some $$$$!! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 531 | Craig, I can't speak for the 49 but my 55 1/2 Panel has a different riser than the same model pickup I had.

Maybe some one will know of a salvage yard that would have a good solid one I could buy. Thanks for chiming in.

I could probably use my top if I cut it off but I would need the metal shell for the bottom. Craig, My guess is that the floor pan is the same in panel and pickup; however, the the "seat risers" (the raised floor that the seat is on) are distinctly different on panel vs pickup. There are different under-seat storage compartment areas on the raised floors (seat risers) in the two styles of trucks (and, the rear edges would be different)? After you have figured out what would work for you, place a Parts Wanted ad in the Swap Meet. And/or, if you find a vendor, please post that information here. Good luck, | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 186 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 186 | thanks everyone for the input. As luck would have it I have been contacted by a bolter that is parting out a panel and will cut out the seat pan for me. I love this forum!!!!
