I've tried searching the board on the topic, but surprisingly haven't turned up much... I'm looking at buying '64 that is in need of a passenger front floor pan... judging from the photos, it's a panel that is spot welded in place. Replacement pans for other vehicles are usually pretty easy to find online, but they seem to be missing for the 61-67 Econo's; I can find them for the Falcon cars and the gen 2 Econolines. Surely someone here has had to replace theirs?
If not, then plan B would be to replace the panel with flat sheet metal; from what I can tell from photos, these pans are pretty flat, with very little, if any, forming. It looks like it would be a matter of drilling the spots, cutting a new pan to match the shape, and re-welding... Is there anything I need to consider that I may not be able to see from the photos?
