| i am new to the forum, my name is Gordon Hurt and i am from Cumberland, Va. i am 63 years old and when i was 17, i bought a 1972 gran torino sport. Later on in years i had traded the car. Few months ago i went searching for the car.After 3 months i located the car. Has been setting since 1985 and i bought the car back.Now !!!! this is my problem, the floor is completely rusted out and i have searched the web for a floor to install, but all the places that sell floors only list up to 1971. Is there a big difference in the floor on a 1972 gran sport? HELP !!!!!! Thanks for any advice |

welcome! awesome you found your car  71's were unibodied cars the 72 -79's are body on frame cars. you can use 65-68 mustang pan sections to patch in they are stamped unlike the crappy aftermarket 72-79 torino pans listed on ebay those are just bent in a brake and require a lot of fab to make work...------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

Welcome to the forum! John directed you as I would have. That thread is over in the auto body section. Each forum has a bunch of stickies with useful information in it, like that floor pan thread. Check around the different sections, there is tons of info on the forum. BTW, I upgraded you to a new member, so you will have full access and privileges on the forum now too. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |
