Hi,

Is anyone out there reproducing floorboards for the 71-76 C-bodies, specifically a '76 Sedan DeVille?  I've found tons of new sheet metal for Chevies and Fords and even for Cadillacs up to 1966, but nothing for these cars.

Thanks!

Are any of the Chevies for Impala in 1975-76? They should come pretty close, as I think the "B" and "C" bodies front cabin were pretty much the same. In any case, I've never seen anyone sliding under a car at our shows counting ribs on floor pans. Maybe they do at Model A meets and Bloomington Gold tho...
Candidly, I would find something the correct size in the GM reproductions available and weld them in. You are to be commended for trying to get "the right stuff," but there is most likely, not enough demand to re-do these later items. The only other cars that would use them would be Electra 225s and Olds 98s.
I think I have seen other people suggest taking the car to a good metal man and having him impress the ribs from what you have left on your car, then cut to size and weld in. In any case, good luck.
