Hi, I'm having to replace my floor pans and I'm wanting to know do I need to cut theseclips on the floor that my back seat (bottom) clips into, or are these available to buy new?

Are you doing the full floor pan or the L & R sides?

The full 65 - 70 floor pan will replace that section but is not right for our 71-3's

I'm doing the full floor pan. What I've read is the 65-68 will work but it's not 100% correct. I did find these clips for a 69/70 but can't find them for the 71-73. Also, the seat risers that come with that full floor plan, are they the risers for 65-68?

Yes the platforms are 65 - 8

Other differences

The full floor has...

wrong ribbing

have to hammer ribbing flat over the frame rails to weld it on

has 8 holes for seat bolts

has 4 drain holes VS 2

something else - might be seat belt mounting areas

the section for the under rear seat is also different

Do I now need to buy 65-68 seat track set for my 72 seats? Will the 65-68 seat track mount under my seats? Thanks for the help Don, I just made my first of many orders with you yesterday!

Are your 72 seat platforms Ok ?

I think 65-8 platforms are way too high

They are not. Whoever had it before me, it looks like the did away with the risers and welded the seat tracks straight to the floor. So it'll be better just getting the 71-73 risers and seat tracks?

 
Have you already bought your new floor?
I have. I bought the full floor pan kit with seat risers and upper torque box covers from NPD. They are just a few miles down the road and it was easier driving to save on shipping for this item.

 
Be sure to address the rib issue before installing it. It will be much easier flattening the ribs and welding up the incorrect holes while not in the car with the frame rails in the way.

You can just install the rubber plugs and caps in the holes

Welding up 10 holes in a new floor doesn't seem worth it to me

If you use the 65-8 platforms you need the seat bolt access hole anyways
