Just recieved this new floor pan from CI Troa. It is stunning in all of its newness and quite well made. They originally sent me the wrong one so I was a little bumbed. But they were obviously very concerned with my satisfaction and sent me the proper one after a few e-mail exchanges. I believe this should be compatible with most years but maybe someone can confirm.

How long did it take for you to recieve them?

If you don't include the original screw up; about two weeks.

That looks pretty good, Chris - Is that for your 69?
or, did you decide to bite the bullet and try to complete your 67 softie?

That looks very nice.
As for compatibility, here are some things to consider. Between '65 and '66 the seat bench depth changed by 1/ 2" so that changed them floor pan also. In '68 the transmission cover shape changed, and then changed again in '69, so that changed the floor pan also. Other than a difference for LHD and RHD those are the only differences that I can think of.

And a some more compatibility things to consider:
Prior to mid-66, the floor panels had large (maybe 2 inch or so diameter) drain holes in the forward-center of the floor pan- these holes were plugged with large rubber plugs
in mid 66/67 and later, these drain holes are much smaller - maybe 3/4 inch diameter

This part is for the 69 and the trusty eyeball says it will fit, and it not the trust welder will make it. The workmanship is really nice complete with rolled edges on the inside edge of the panel. I wonder what the wrong floor pan they sent me is for? It doesn't have the projecting lobe at the lower inside corner and different ribbing.
And as far as the 67 goes....I have decided I only need one of these babies so I have been extracting a few parts from it. I dissected the fenders and rewelded them to put on the 69. Also the grill is in better shape so with a couple of minor mods it will go on the 69. Still thinking the 16" rims would look way cool on the 69. By the time I am done the only thing that will be left is about everything you need to convert a proper year vehicle to a soft top including soft top frame, bed, door cowels and windshield (and a bazillion misc parts). What to do, look for a rusty one to donate the softy parts? Or part the whole dang thing out? It hurts my soul but, I see no other way. This poor 67 has been moved around Western CO for the last 15 years, at least, in its current condition.

It sounds like the wrong one may have been for a RHD vehicle.

Here is a PDF of the wrong one. I don't think they want it back so it is available.

Did you call them or email them to order? I don't see where I can order them online.
