Re: [Chrysler300] Floor pans for '62 chrysler Hdt

["Thomas L. DeBusk" <cfdebusk@xxxx>]

I believe a '69 Charger floor pan is a nearly identical floor pan to the 
'62-'64 full-size Chryslers. I'm not sure of the differences, but I'm 
told they are minor. I'm telling you this from memory, though. I'd 
double-check the exact year, body style, and other details before you 
buy and start cutting.

This comes from a '62-'64 owner who used such a pan, I believe in a '64 
Dodge Custom 880.

I have the exact details in an archived email somewhere and can dig it 
out if you really need me to, but you might be able to verify elsewhere.

Those Charger pans are available new somewhere for sure. I have two '64 
convertibles, a Custom 880 and a 300K, that both need floor pans, so I'm 
interested in hearing how yours turns out. Wanna buy in bulk?

Don't cannibalize the hardtop.

Hi all;

I have a sport 300 convert that could use better front and rear floor 
pans (from '60-62? 63?). Any one have a body shell to sell, near San 
Jose, that I can haul to
a body man, to cut out floor pans and weld into my convert? Is there a 
current mfg. of floor pans, say for later years mopar, that can be be 
used? Any suggestions or sources. Any one experience at where to cut 
the floor pans?

I never checked the floor of the convert (after I bought it and put into 
rented storage, some 17 years) condition until recently - of course 
1-1/2 year ago I helped a friend cut up a complete 880 Dodge (less 
engine /wheels) and take it to the scrap yard (he had to move out of 
rental house and I , living in a track home, had no room for the 
body/parts. I do not want to resort to cutting up my solid spare (to be 
restored, some day-but still waiting 15 years later) 300 sport Hdt car, 
which is complete, A friend wants to buy my Hdt, which I offered for 
$1500 or less (I keep the running engine), to keep me from destroying 
it and having to sell off the rest as parts. But I am concern that 
I may end up paying nearly as much to a junk yard or individual for the 
floor pans to be removed/shipped -or a body shell delivered to me.
