Has anyone replaced a full flirt pan in a 1975 ford elite and if so what floor pan is best to use. I would like to replace the whole pan

There is a black 72 on here (and recently listed for sale) that they had replaced the entire pan in 1 shot. As far as fitment goes, I am pretty sure (but not 100%) you can use 73-79 2 door Torino, Gran Torino, Montego (MX/GT), Elite. 77-79 Thunderbird/Cougar may work as well. I am not sure on 72 Torino.

To avoid any production variations, I would seek one the same year as my car, from any of the above models that fall into my year.

Good luck!

That’s been my issue I cannot find anyone who makes a aftermarket pan for this car

The hard part would be the seat support metal. If you could rework those or transfer them from something else, I think an aftermarket pan could be used.

I used '66 Mustang floor pans on my '73. Fabricated my own seat supports and didn't do a very great job, but it works.
