My van is pretty good in the rear floor (same as ute). Can send some photos when I get home on the weekend. You may be best to try and find a van as donor as the rear floor is more likely to be intact. Although I hate the thought of cutting up a van or wagon for that matter.

Hey Toey doesn't even the sedan have the same floor pan except for the fuel tank hole (that might sound a bit Irish) I thought the rails etc were all the same.

When you look in the ute just behind the divider between the cabin and tray you should still see the bottom back seat ledge in the floor pressing, could be wrong been wrong many times before

Might be easier to get a sedan floor cut and just enlarge the hole for the tank or do what I'm doing with my ute and fit different tank altogether, I'm using a VP commodore tank because I'm V6ing my ute and will modify the floor to accommodate it, I did the same on my FC Sedan.

Just a thought mate

Sedan floor is different rear of the axle. floor in the commercials is lower to accomodate the spare.

If you don't need it to be original you could fabricate the rails and use the floor and tank from something suitable. That leaves you with the question of where to store the spare, how to fit spare wheel door etc.

Either way you're up for a challenge.

Thanks errol26 that helps a heap

I'm not to fussed on originality but having it look close to his it should for a rwc will help. I've got a sample now was close to what I was thinking.

I'm the same as you I couldn't chop a van up either

Yeah the ute runs the same floor to the back seat area but from there back it is different. I've got a plan on what to do now but long weekend time is here and I ain't going into work

Have a look at a build thread on the FE FC Forum called 365 Weeks, on the first couple of pages you can see what JB did to the floor of his ute and the fuel tank set up, this is one of the best builds for detail on the floors that I think I have seen.

Looks like you know what you are up to but it may give you some ideas.

Hope it helps.
