Last I checked, no one reproduces the 73-74 trunk pan in any manner. They are totally different from the 68-72 (which is available in a 3 piece or a 1 piece complete panel). Matter of fact, the only thing the two have in common is the width between the frame rails.
68-72 X bodies gas filler neck go thru the bumper, not thru the rear tail panel like the 73-74.
68-72 X bodies have a flat trunk floor, the 73-74 has an actual "well" that the spare tire fits in. &3-74's also have a different fuel tank for that reason and also the placement of the filler neck.
Those are the 2 main differences.
Now, you can convert a 73-74 to a 68-72 floor pan but I would only suggest doing so if you are using a fuel cell after a mini tub and you are good at fabricating. If you want some picts of this process let me know and I have a couple I'll post.
