What company have you guys got reporduction floor pans/ boby panels? I was looking at Kanters prices vs. c2c and they are about double.

I found mine on eBay - a company that I can't think of the name of sells regularly there. I got both left and right side front floor pieces from them for my '51 200 Deluxe. They needed "working" but they did the job and cost about $50 a piece.
No doubt someone here can think of the name of the company.

I've found that Kanter's is pretty pricy on just about everything - good merchandise - but Max Merritt and Tuscon (sp) Packard have comperable stuff for less money, usually.

I believe those on ebay are C2C's. Not sure where Kanter gets his -- they may be the same ones. Don't think there are too many other options. As Jim and several others have mentioned, they are not drop in and will require some work to make fit.

I bought generic type rocker panels from Amazon. Company called Nor/Am. I checked and they do not show Packard floor pans though, at least they are not listed on their website.

Doc, FWIW, I think it might be a good idea to find out from these sellers where they source the parts and what their warranty is. Do a little Sherlocking.

I've had all kinds of experiences buying parts (or services, like rebuilds) that seem identical except for a significantly lower price, and have had wildly (no exaggeration!) different results. Everyone likes a low price, sure, but the real value is in fit and finish and how the part works. You only want to do something once, and you want it to be as easy as possible. That's priceless.

I used the C2C pans on my car. They are "generic packard". They for sure are not drop in replacements. See my blog for more info.

YES! That's the company I was thinking of.

Check post "floorpans for 1948 deluxe 8 touring sedan." some good information there. Maybe helpful?
