Trunk floor drop off, '62-'65

[MarkM68]

Having a hard time finding these. Anyone know of a place that may have them?

[MarkM68]

After calling around. I guess they're not being reproduced. :(

I know Classic Industries reproduces the trunk floor. It's pretty cheap, I think under $90.

I've got a new trunk floor in it. I need the drop offs, they go from the edge of the truck to the bottow of the quarter. Then I can start putting quarters on this rust bucket, lol.

Thanks

Just an updated. After some cutting and bending, I got the '66-67 drop offs to work.

Any way you can post some pics.I have a 65 post and was wondering how well the 66-67 would fit.
thanks

I know that someone, probably Dynacorn, is currently selling a full 62-65 trunk floor, including the dropoffs. One user here (Ricks67?) had one a while back, and I've seen at least two on ebay. As for separate dropoffs, I haven't seen those.

I have seen pictures of the full trunk including the "trunk to quarter filler".Also comes with the trunk floor braces and gas tank straps,but have not seen them with the drop offs.Got a link,or a pic ?
Not meaning to cut in on someone elses thread.
Thanks

Thanks for bringing this up. Looking on ebay I see that you are right: The full trunk floors do NOT appear to have dropoffs. I was wrong.

I recently did a quarter panel behind the wheel before a paint job and had to dip a trunk drop-off in order to have a good replacement. I could not find a new replacement.

I'll try to get some pics once I get the car up on the lift. Basically, they needed less then an hours time to fit. The top of the drop off fit the contour of the truck floor almost perfect. The problem was that it was to long, and needed to bend the opposite way where it meets the bottom of the quarter, and also where it meets the wheel opening.

I looked and called everywhere for these things, everyone said they weren't being made. I did hear from my parts guy that they were in the process of being made. So who knows if or when they'll actually be out sometime.

Yahoo look at the dry concrete and ya can figure it out. Thanks for the complement. I sure am proud the way it shines. Now I have two shinny 64s. Ahhhhhhhhh what a good feeling and a long time coming.

This view shows the nice door jams too. It took me a while to get the rest of the interior in after the paint and new headliner. I have a few details remaining to do for Spring driving.

I know this is an old thread, but I was hoping maybe someone had pictures of the 66-67 drop offs being used for the 62-65? I'm about to try and make it work.

I task you with this responsability Nick!!:D

Oh yea?:rolleyes: Only if you take responsibility for your bad spelling.:D
I measured it against the old rusty piece and it looks like it's going to need a little surgery. Its a little longer, and the curve by the wheel well is a little different, but nothing to major. It does fit the trunk floor pretty well. I don't think it will be to bad.
But If I F it up can I return it for a full refund?:D

[NIGHTSHADE]

Sure thing, as long as you can weld it up and make it look exactly as was when I sent it to ya!!:D


I notice the reason for your edit was "bad spelling"

Yea, this is the pot. Hey kettle.

[MarkM68]

I took some pics, but now I can't find them. They didn't show much anyways, just looked like they were made for the car. Just get them, you'll figure out how to fit them, :D .

I ended up fabricating my own for a 1963. I saw the pictures of the 66 and 67 that are being repopped and they look very similar. Had I to do it over again I would buy them and modify them.
