Rusted floor pans, where can I get replacements?
I have a 1980 with bad floor pans. I already have replacement rocker channels and have replaced the frame, but I can't find anyone that sells replacement floor pans. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

I believe Bair's Corvette Parts in Linesville,Pa has the '76-'82 replacement floors, but I do not believe they are cheap either. Last I heard about $275 per side. They are amongst the best Corvette vendors to deal with-bought a good bit off of them the last 5 or 6 years. Great people.:steering:

Best bet - Get a used set. There's a guy in Southern Ca. - Dave's Auto Wrecking - (714-996-1951) They charged me $300 for the whole floor. ($50 UPS to NJ)(Sectioned right down the middle of the tunnel, and cut through thr rocker channels, so that they can be properly replaced by drilling out the factory spot welds- VERY nice job) I can't say enough. The floors were as good as new, and are GM, exact for your year, with all attaching points for seats, belts, etc. I cut my old floor halfway up the trans tunnel on each side to maintain structural integrity/alignment, and overlapped the new floors up to it. Sides, front and rear are re-attached like factory. I waited over a year for the repro's - they kept having problems with the stampings (metal too thin in some areas or wrinkling too much) - I gave up, and I'm glad I did. Would have been more glad if I didn't discover mine was the first year for steel floors, and they were rotted to @#@!. Good luck with your project!
