Default How to tell orig floor pan

I am hoping to remove the seats, console, rug today. How can I tell if the Floor pan is the original or is a new one was welded in?

There has to be some way to tell orig seam seal or the way it meets the rocker, right?

Unless it was replaced by a full floor pan, it will be easy to tell if it is original.
Most floor pans were replaced in full side patches or partial floor pan patch's and you will see weld marks and seam sealer of some kind where it shouldn't be on the tunnel.

If the full floor pan just looks too new and clean it may have been replaced, I don't know how long full floor pans have been around now. More then likely your full pan is original and just has patch panels in it if any floor work has been done.
