Looks like Summit wins the floor pan battle to me. Their shipping is cheapest which makes up for a higher cost on the actual floor pan.

Rocker will be 40-50$ pretty much everywhere but no nasty truck only price tag on the freight

Even tried all the local parts houses/restoration type places/body and paint and all were more, some a lot lot more.

If anyone else has any other idears for me I'm all ears.

Have you tried getting everything from one vendor and making them give you a deal on the shipping?

Order the floor pan from CarID, they have the cheapest shipping, and have them match rockauto's price which actually is the cheapest. I did this a week ago, came out to a bit over 300 to my door

try out mill supply, they had my door panel patches for 26 each and 15 shipping for each, definitely the cheapest out there, not sure about floor pans though

Can't find floorpans any longer on CarID.

Shipping kills it form Mills Supply.....

Thanks for the ideas, I'll hit up CarID before I buy.

Rocker and floor pan is 368.94from Summit shipped.

Blown away I haven't found it local cheaper, burned thru everywhere I knew an everything suggested from talking to all the other places.

Re: Body panels.....anyway to get a deal that I'm missing....

Have to search under Sherman to find the floor pan, stupid setup there Car ID.....

Going to make some calls in the morning, see if Car ID will price match rockauto, or of summit will price match rockauto since summit has cheapest shipping a 55.

Update: Summit gets serious about price+shipping for price matching don't they...sheesh I just played dumb and asked a question

So now I will see if Car ID will price match rockauto in the morning. Thanks for the ideas.

Re: Body panels.....anyway to get a deal that I'm missing....

Well I used Car ID.

Beat them up best I could trying to price match with Rockauto and Summit.

No miracles, but got driver floor pan and rocker panel for a flat $350 shipped which was 18.40$ less than Summit when all was said and done.
