Best floor pans?

Finished rebuilding my bench seat and went to replace the original floor mat before reinstallation. My driver side floor pan was in worse shape than I had expected and now I’ll have to replace the floor pans. Seems a lot of folks carry replacement pans (DC, LMC,etc) but I was hoping that someone can point me in the right direction for the beat quality pans? Thanks in advance for any advice!

mcline Do Not use lmc for anything unless they are the only ones who have the part that you need. I used them for the bed replacement panels for my 67 f-100. if i had known how bad they were , i would have gone to the junkyard and had a bed floor cut out and been money and time ahead.

I think I got mine form Dennis Carpenter of Macs. They were good.

They even called me to say some of the panels I ordered over lapped each other and did not need so & so part and would send a flat sheet to use as a filler if needed.
That was a plus to not need to spend extra money but I did order other parts I found later I needed.
just 1 side of what I did.

I bought two from Dennis Carpenter, they were good but after screwing one of them up I bought a replacement from Flashback F100's - Home. They are thicker than DC's.
I ended up buying my cab corners from them as well. Very sturdy stuff and I highly recommend them. No frills catalog, just a stapled together print out. The website is not fancy but LMC proves that doesn't mean anything.

I bought pre-formed floor pans for my 68 IH. I thought the thickness was sturdy and firm but didn't think they formed well. I think next time I do it, I'll get flat metal and form it myself.
