Default 1/2 a floor pan?????

I am getting ready to cut out and replace my rusted floor pans. I stopped in and talked to a guy that rebuilds vettes, here in Cocoa,Fl.
He told me that he has a vendor who sells 1/2 pans, which is all I really need.
Does anyone on here know who that vendor might be??? OR where I could get 1/2 pans??? I REALLY don't want to rip out the whole pan cause the rear is rock solid and if I could find the 1/2 pans...I could do this job myself.
The guy didn't seem like he wanted to tell me who his supplier was, fearing he would lose the job of replacing them. He told me he wasn't sure of who the vendor was...he was going to check it out!!!
If anyone knows about the availability of these 1/2 pans, I'd appreciate the name and/or web site.

Buy a full pan and slice off what you need; they're not ridiculously expensive.

$210 each side...cheapest I've seen. $420 for both sides. Cut them in half and use what I need, you say. Then shall I just throw the unused half away? Or should I just throw $200 away?

Just looking for the name of the vendor/supplier who makes/sells 1/2 pans.

Have you considered fabricating your own panels? You can do a lot with a jigsaw and a Harbor Freight hammer and dolly set.

Most of the vendors sell the 76-82 floor as halves. I forget who actually makes them, but Central has them for about $250 a half, Ecklers lists them for $269 and Paragon gets $300 a half. Because of the size of these, the freight is quite steep, too.

You might be able to get a good used floor section from someone, too. I'd give Steve at C & S Corvettes in Sarasota a call and see if he has any good used floors.

The repro floors won't work on the drivers side of an 81 or 82, that had a power seat, without modifing them.
