I searched and found members that make some of the bolts but was curious if anyone sells bolt kits or maybe a template for replacing the rear floor..thanks in advance

If he doesn't respond you might try sending a PM to Richard2717. He offered to send me a template when I replaced my floor.

You may have already seen my post where I listed the fasteners used on my 67. (Post 490 in link below) At the time I was unable to find exact matches for some of the fasteners so if your doing a accurate factory restoration you may have to reuse some of the fasteners or get creative. Luckily I was able to reuse all the bolts for the spare tire well on mine but the rest were too rusted to reuse.
The 40 or so carriage head bolts around the perimeter are likely to have the nuts too rusted to remove without the bolt spinning and rounding the square hole in the sheetmetal. Fortunately they are the easiest ones to get so destroying them during removal isn't a problem.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I Just checked GMC Pauls site figuring if anyone had it, he would, but only one he has listed is for blazer & pickups. The perimeter bolts I think are the same other than the rear tail which HO455 can help with.

Is the wood totally gone in yours? I am pretty sure I still have a good floor section here I could get you measurements off of.
