Hi everyone, Im a new VDub/forum guy. I pick up a 73 standard for $150 with almost no rust except the right pan is rotted. I triple checked the bolts, and I got them all. I cant get the pan to drop, it's hanging on the corners. Am I missing a spot wield somewhere? It's hanging between rear pan head lip and the heater channel. Any help would be appreciated, as this one thing has completely halted my rebuild.

| Look for the recent post by Kalen1970. She has been doing the same thing. |

| Did you get the bolts located below the rear seats? |

the two that attatch the compartment tin to the raised part of the floor pan? yup got it, although that part isnt coming out very easy either. It's all gummed up. I've had to incorporate the BFH method, lol..
BTW, I am doing it as a body on replacement, I dont have the space to do the body off. |

| The pans are the only thing I paid to have done on my 73. If memory serves, they are welded on some spots? |

Okay, reading the instructions for a '65...
Remove all eighteen 8mm bolts (9 per side) that hold the body to the pan that run the length of the pan from underneath. With the rear tires removed, unbolt the tow (one per side) shock tower/body mount bolts. Underneath the rear seat you will find two 10mm bolts and four 8mm bolt that will need to be removed.
Hope that helps a bit! |
