Can't be done.
The lower-bodied cars of later decades rode on frames that didn't have a big X-member, let alone T-L equipment, in the way. Much of the floor pan in the passenger compartment of those later cars sits down, between the frame side rails, which was necessary to preserve headroom. Packard floor pans sat on top of the frame rails (and X-member).
