My trunk floor is basically.. non existant, thats how bad the rust is. My luggage pretty much sits on my gas tank lol. Is it recommended that i just cut whatevers left out, and just fabricate a new piece of sheet metal to fit? Or should i try to find something used. And, at the same time, my quarter panels are rusted at the bottoms too, should i repair the quarter panels before the trunk floor, or can i go ahead and do the floor first

Reminds me of my first Centurion......... after sitting down making the math and the time effort i took the money that i had planned on putting in and bought another SOLID Centurion. Now my first Centurion is my parts car.

Does anyone know of reproduction/NOS floor pans for the trunk? (1972 Centurion).
Thanks

There are no reproductions made, and I think you'd have hit the lottery if you found an NOS panel..
You're much better off scouring the boards for a parts car with a good floor.

Thanks Adam...even though I don't like the answer. The panels do have holes in them....So, which cars have the same floor? 1971-73 LeSabre and Centurion or are their others (Olds 88/Pontiac Grandville?)

I'm not sure of the other brands, but 71-72 LeSabre/Centurion are the same. 73 is different.

All B boby floors should be the same within years. Please dont hold me to it but I seem to remember the 4 door trunk floor can be made to work. I know the quarters from the end of the wheel well to the bumper will work. The easiest way would be to find a 2 door LeSabre and graft on the tail.
Be careful, the math (labor cost) can explode on a project like this. Good luck!

Graft is not something I even want to consider. The trunk floor that is rusty is flat...so that should be an easy fix. The qtrs behind the rear wheel well are rough, but they can be fixed. I'm in no hurry...so I'll keep my eyes open for a solid floor in a 1971-72 Olds/Pontiac/Buick B Body 2door or 4 door...and maybe solid qtrs...but I don't have high hopes.
