Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

I have talked to the people atc2cfabrication.com, and eBay, and another company I can't think of, And they say they do not have pans for my car, will any others interchange?? Is it better to replace the whole floor, the front are in bad shape, back is fair, trunk is gone..

Any help would be awesome..

Also if anyone around DFW Texas wants to help put them in, come on..

Just tell the suppliers that you have a 1948 Packard Super Eight.

They might not recognize the 2202 number if that is what you gave them since it is the model number for the chassis, not the body.

C2C should have all the pieces for a 4 door. Not sure about all needed for a 2 door though. Here is some of what they offer on ebay. As mentioned, they are not straight drop in pieces and will need some cutting, fitting and massaging.

As BDeB said, they are general mixed make and not a Packard only vendor. Would not necessarily know or need the chassis or body numbers like you would use if ordering a part from Kanter or Max.

I saw the ones you pictured, I told them I have a super 8 Sudan, and that said they do not have..

Will the ones pictured work?? It says clipper....

Are all 1948 (8) sedans (4 doors) the same body?? Will parts interchange??

The Clipper was a model introduced in 41 alongside the conventional body style and was carried over postwar thru 47. The 22-23 series or 48-50 was a face lift of that Clipper body style but not called a Clipper. The trunk and floor pans are essentially the same for all 4 door Clipper styling thruout those years. Any differences would be minor and since you are going to have to work the new panels anyway to make them fit, would not pose a big problem.

The trunk piece is flat and fits behind the spare tire wheel well to the rear. If you need a spare tire wheel well, you are going to have to search or make one of the generic one size fits all replacements work. One thing you will have to figure out on the trunk piece is how to make the curved drop down section at the rear to mate with the body panel below the trunk lid. That little piece does not come with the flat trunk panel and I don't know of any thing made for that area. I am needing that bit for my 47 trunk.

Thanks for all the info, now all I need is help.. Lol
