Replacement floor pan?

Does anyone make these?
Mine is pretty rotted out, and would need the entire front floor pan replaced.

I'm not sure what else I could do otherwise.

Yes, there are aftermarket pieces available from Fusick, Tamraz, Parts Place, OPG, Year One etc. The parts are all pretty much the same, so I'd be inclined to buy from who has the lowest cost and best shipping deal.

For a Toronado?

Cool if they did but I don't think so?
I've been wrong once or twice before though.

If you can't find Toronado panels or don't want to use a parts car floor or fab something would a Buick Riviera floor pan be the same or close?

C2C has those.

I find nothing for a Toro either. By the way, the Riviera of that vintage is RWD and has a large driveshaft hump in the floor pans.

DUUUUHHHHH, I didn't look at the application . Guess I'll have to go out to the shed and whip up a floor panel or 2 to start selling. My bad

Wasn't there a Toro that was on the forum just a couple of days ago that was being dismantled? Don't know if 67 floor is compatible with 69? Best alternate suggestion I can think of. Cool link to c2c. Like you said though it doesn't have Toros. The Rivs and Toros do share some similar looks. I like the 68 Toro and 69 Riv front styling a lot. For me, its a toss up on who wins. From the side they both have their strong points.

Makes you wonder why GM couldn't leave a good thing alone, doesn't it?



69 RIVIERA GS - SOLD FOR $28,500.00

Yargh... throughout the last 6 months, the lack of anything available just makes me want to part it out more each day.
Not the best choice for my first muscle car

So, what is your location?
You should put that into yuor profile so we can all see where you are located in all of your posts.
Helps tremendously when looking for parts etc.

There is a guy here somewhat near me that is parting a couple out. 70's though I think

Damn, I didn't know they were that much.

Another mark on the 'part out' side :|
