Does anyone know if anyone is making the floor pan to firewall extensions for a 76 T/A? Or the under the rear seat area?

I am having the exact same problem with my 76 that you are. And no, no one makes these pieces. I have the new floor pan in and I am having to piece the rest together with 20 guage sheet metal. Good luck

I also have that problem, (75 T/A) and made my own. I recently saw someone making them and I can't remember where. I think it was the parts place cause I was just there but am not positive. I'll look around and if I find it I'll let you know.

I'm in the same boat. You might try adapting the 70-74 pans because they come up further on the firewall. I found this out the hard way. I'm going to post some pics later in week. The second floorpan I got for my 73 goes up the firewall and the tunnel about three inches.
The first floorpan came from Paddock. Won't ever deal with them again. First they tell me the part is on a three week back order then in less than a week I received a floorpan for the 75-81 style. The difference is that the later style ones stop at the seam or firewall extension before going up the firewall and the catconvr issue. Before I ordered it I specifically asked if it was the 70-74 style and not the 75-up style they still sent me the wrong one. I ended up sending it and the low quality fender patch panel back!

Unless poncho finds out who it was your best bet is to do what I did and go out and buy a sheet of 20 guage sheet metal and a pair of tin snips or some sort of cutter. I have gotten pretty good at putting off doing the sheet metal work in my car but one day next week I will end up getting to it.

I have the same problem with my '77, I just need to repace the drivers side front floor infront of the seat...but the panel didn't go up far enough, so I bought a full sheet 4x8 I thinkg it's either 18 or 20 gauge can't remember now...(since I need to practice weleding fiist)and will just add on, just need a 7" buy 1 1/2' section I bought the welder 2 years ago (lincon 135HD)and the metal last year, I am going to force myself to get started this weekend....then i got to do the body mounts and frame connectors (had this stuff sitting for 3 years)
