Re: [AMC-list] Gremlin floor boards

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Marc,

AMC says they are different. Convertibles are different as well. I don't 
know how different they are but the entire front structure (starting 
from about were the rear seat is)less the rockers and a couple parts at 
the very front changed mid-68. The difference could be anything from a 
different number or pattern of ribs (easy to deal with) to different 
bumps and dips to accommodate the new structure. It could also be that 
the difference has nothing to do with the front half of the pans and is 
all in the rear part. AMC sold the pans in two parts (trunk and 
everything else) so there isn't anyway to know from the parts book.
