The shop just called and apparently they are having trouble locating a source for floor panels for my '72 Suburban. Does anyone know of any sources off-hand? Unfortunately, I haven't seen the truck, so I don't know which pieces that they need.

Thanks,

If its from the B pillar forward then the truck panels will work if your talking from the B pillar rearward I do not think those are reproduced. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think I am.

Thanks Long Roof,

I later found out that he needs both front and rear. I will at least let him know about the fronts and I guess someone will pipe up if they know of a good option for the rear.

I've never seen them made for the rear.

Thanks FF.... Of course, you would probably glance at a set of originals and then would proceed to hammer them out by hand from memory.

I guess that my only other recourse would be to find a good set of originals and have someone cut them out. Around Ohio, they wouldn't be much better, I'm sure...

Also, I wonder how far off the '73-87 Rears would be and if they are available? At least it would be better than grafting in a Stop Sign, which will probably be the third tier down on the option list...

Thanks for the help,
