Don't get me wrong but I suggest you give a little bit more info...........how complete?............front toe board to rear tail section?..........sill to sill?..............I honestly will be surprised if you can find a replacement piece that covers the whole floor, maybe yrs ago from a nice rust free wrecking yard but the scrappers have cleared most of them away..............so how bad is yours and in what areas.............BTW when I bought my 1940 Dodge in 1971 it had a bit of rust even then so when it was 31/32 yrs old replacement sills etc were non existant even then so I learnt to oxy weld, bought the bottles and have at it myself...........I replaced the front & back 12" of both sills, the rear doglegs on both sides, the front lower cowls on both sides and the rear beaver panel about 2 foot across, also the bottoms of both centre door pillars....then widened both rear fenders, mudguards or wings by 2" all around to accommodate 10x15 rear rims...............by the time you find a complete floor you may find its simpler to repair whats there.............maybe............lol.............anyway welcome aboard from Oz.........Andy Douglas

Hi Andy 

Done a lot already but if a floor was available then that would be the way to go.

Patching panels is never going to be as good as a complete floor pan and takes more work to do.

BTW all tig welded.
