The JC floor are about the same as you would get from classic parts or LMC, They dont fit well so plan on beating them into shape.

goodmark makes pretty nice repop parts, spendy, but nice. If cost is a big deal, get the cheap ones and buy a good hammer. Its only metal so dont be afraid to smack it into shape.

Re: would ya'll buy floor pans from jcwhitney?

GMC Paul shows floor made from new tooling that he says are a better fit. They aren't cheap, but should be a lot easier to install. Contact him and ask, he will shoot straight with you.

Some of the other vendors should have them, too, but they might not be in their catalogs yet.

A bit of advice on buying parts. When possible, I buy parts from a vendor that uses them. GMC Paul, mgbmike and Bowtie Bits are some to choose from.

I'd be leery to buy from jc whitney. Just because they have stuff for everything, rather put a bit extra towards someone who gives back to our community.
