Floor pan question.

[82 cutty]

I am replacing my floor pan in my 82 Cutlass. I was wondering if anyone knew what the piece inside the door sill above the pan is called. I have a pic. My new pan does not come up all the way. Is it something that can be ordered or needs to be fabricated. Thanks!

I'm not sure but I would say that is considered part of the rocker panel.

The new floor pan should cover that area also. We at least the one I purchased did.

82 Cutty, Where did you purchase your floor? Picture of new floor panel...?

The irony of their own replacement parts already being rusty isn't lost on me.

CardID.com. There is a factory seam line where it is welded about 4 or 5 inches below the inner rockers. I think grandamman got me what I need.

It looks like there is an inner and outer rocker, the piece you're looking for to me seems to weld to the inner rocker and drop off to the floor pan. I did a front patch on my passenger side floor and the pan I used is attached to that dropoff. On my drivers side, I had some rust on the drop right behind the seatbelt mount, i cut it out and there's also an inner reinforcement welded behind it. The inner piece had some scale but cleaned up and is solid, the outer was a small enough section where I just fabbed up a patch. I've seen floorpans and the rockers but if these floor drops and reinforcements are being made my feeble searches have not found them.

Yes! Exactly. Although, I may need inner rockers, it wasn't what I was initially looking for as you have pointed out. You're right about not being able to find them. I fear they will have to be fabricated as you have done.
