Is a mid 60s floorpan the same as a 4stud pan?

well people put ovals on late

so i "assume" the answer is yes - excepting seat runners etc.

The "ribbing" might bwe different but that would be it

Suspension would be different too if it has ball joints and/or IRS

do you mean, floor pan(s), or rolling chassis?

depending on the years... and I'm not sure which ones they are....

the rear body mount inside the guard.... above the shock mount is different. They are lower on an oval pan than a 68 semi auto.

The distance between the two tubes in the front susp is different ball joint to link pin (im fairly certain)

Seat runners, hand brakes, heater knobs are all over the place.

Apart from that rear mount theres no dramas swapping any body on any pan... assuming its not a 74L or one of those other wacky strut models.

thanks, just looking for pan, not whole rolling chassis, and have cut a nice one now, waiting to be welded in.
