Floor pan braces, what cars will fit a 78 malibu ?

[mystre71]

Hi, I'm restoring my 78 malibu, I need not only the full floor pan but the underside braces as well as the lower corner sections of the firewall. My question is what cars can I rob these parts from ? Will all 4 door and elco braces and firewall fit ? What about other Gbodys ?

Thanks!

Yep, front sections are all the same

By front section you're referring to Elco's beds correct ? but a full floor out of a 4 door would work ?

4 door and wagons use the same floor pans as 2 door cars, El Camino's do to the tunnel is what's different.

No front by the drivers feet to under their butt. Behind that is different

Thanks for the info.. I'm going to purchase a full 2 door floor pan from OPGi. ....Does anyone know if the braces under the floor pan are the same on four doors and wagons as they are on 2 doors ?

I'll have to get the braces from a junk yard since for some ridiculous reason everyone makes a floor pan but no under braces, because that would make too much sense I guess...lol

They make floor pan braces for 2drs...

THANKS! I had searched and couldn't find any, except for the seat braces on top. Now I just need the front brace. Thank you again!
