70 Vert 1 Peice Floor... Which One.
I am looking on CJ Pony Parts, and they have two different floor pans for the 70 Vert.
Which is better to get. I am looking to order these asap.
The P/N for the DynaCorn floor is 3648B

and the other is p/n is FLP9k

Neither is correct, and would require modification to fit your 70. The crescent-shaped ridges at the rear are for the 64-65 brake cable, the shifter hole is too small for a 69-73 shifter, the reinforcing ribs are wrong for 69-70 and a disaster for 71-73. I must say, I'd distrust anyone who advertised a "65-73" floor. They are either ill-informed or dishonest.
There is only one floor that will work properly for your 69-70 car, and some of the ridges are not quite concours.
Glazier/Nolan calls the 69-70 floor G10820. It's specifically the "coupe/FB" floor, but a little trimming for the inner rocker and it's pretty good.

I personally prefer replacing individual pans and leaving the center hump since those are usually in good shape but either way I'd suggest you pay a bit more and get the dynacorn metal. They are a well known company and I'd trust their products more than the no name stuff.

Take this guys advice.

I ended up getting the p/n fpk4 from cjponyparts. I decided since I need inner rockers, floor supports and torque boxes but my hump was in good shape just to order this kit. What are you thoughts on this kit.

I have seen a lotta work done by Glazier/Nolan, near here. They find that with all the extra welding needed along the hump with individual repair pans, verses using a single OE style floor, it actually ends up costing the customer less for the complete replacement floor, and you end up with a car that looks right even from underneath.

at the risk of hi-jacking a thread, isn't it harder to replace the whole floor pan as opposed to replacing it panel by panel? I ask this because I've heard that a lot of bracing is required if you're going to cut out the entire floor.
I ask because a couple of spots in my floor are pretty rough and I'm looking into replacing the whole floorpan myself.

Not saying it can't or shouldn't be done since I really don't know what I'm talking about, but in theory it just sounds sketchy. I'd love for someone to maybe explain it a little better to me, or link to a good thread of someone that went through the process and documented it well, since this is something I'm looking to do in the future.
edit: didn't see the pic before (darn slow internet). But I do notice that you did brace the sub frames. Are those permanent connectors or something you mocked up just for the floor replacement?
