Brand new NOS GM floor with tailpan and cross supports.

GM Part #15571692

Just searched gmpartsdirect and it does not come up anymore, hit a local dealer and have them do a search for you.

I just replaced my tailpan with a 2x3. Use tubing at the rear most body mounts, welded directly to the side of the square tube. Space down where the tail gate bolts on with 1/4 inch stock and tap it for the bolts.
Use what ever gauge sheet metal to cover the new tailpan and to connect it to the existing floor.
I replaced the tailgate posts with stamped rust replacment piece and the fit fairly well.
I have an extra left hand side one if you need it.
