Pre-'62 Bodytub on a Post-'62 Chassis?

[Anthony]

Is it possible to fit a pre '62 body tub to a post '62 chassis?

I am aware the floorpans and chassis changed in 1962, but don't know what's involved in swapping them

If it were possible would it be a direct fit, or would I need to replace the floors? and if so, would it be just the front sections, or would the entire floorpan need replacing?

If it were just the front floors that needed replacing could I switch bulkheads for a post '62 model? or are there other differences?

I guess if the entire floor needed replacing I'd be better off just using a post '62 (but pre '69) body tub to begin with?

 

Thanks,

Ant.

I put an early saloon tub on my '68 convertible. I can't remember the ins and outs, but don't rember it being hard if you know how to use and angle grinder and welder. The datums are all the same for the chassis.
