I just got my original Parts Group catalogue,,the question I have is ,,the trunk floor they have listed is that the proper floor for a 65 convertible w/eight lugs....It looks like the one Ames was selling a few years ago but was discontinued .....Any one here used these from OPG? comments pro or con welcomed Thank You

scan it so we can see.
8 lugs make no difference.
I looked at their website. From the 2 reviews for the other floor pans I would pass.

I thought the spare hold down was different on 8 lug wheel....the trunk floor is on the bottom right of page.....Larry

from the picture it looks different in the front for the spare tire. You only have 3 options, find original, have one made or incorrect. Might want to try Indiana Pontiac or Pontiac heaven for an original floor if that is what you want. Pat

Cars with 8 lug wheels used a hold down plate to secure the spare, like this:



It used the same bolt to fasten it down to the trunk floor like any other big Pontiac. Also, note that the position of the spare in the trunk was different depending on if the car was a Catalina/Ventura or a Star Chief/Bonneville - the shorter cars had the spare mounted up at the front of the trunk, the longer cars had it mounted flat on the floor where it was easier to reach.

The Photo listed in there is exactly like the one sold by classic 2 current. Likely the same pan. Best price I found was through rockauto.com. If you are trying to get a perfect pan, try emailing Bill and Smide from sweeden. doorskin@tele2.se They only have one set left in the US and from what I understand they are very nice. The one set that they have here is for the longer trunk (bonneville) you can use this for the catalina, but must cut it down. Hope this helps.
