I thought they were alike, at wheel well, but J-Y thinks this 4 dr one took some extensive rework of rear wheel opening at front , on F, does not look right. . A mess of bondo, hard to know what really happened. But seconding Keith, we used a 59 Desoto LWB 4 dr floor pan, from Montana guy, and the whole (nice!) Desoto 4dr frame ---and some other parts to fix a C convert . I thought it really odd that LWB 4 dr and 2 dr used same basic stampings in floor, 57-59 ..it is just where the door posts are attached, and some readily addressed variations in the body mounts that stick off the frame .Makes sense after the fact , same raw floor stamping. Had to weld convert X into Desoto, extend front mounts off C frame for bumper. We are interested in 60-62 patch panels too..all MOPARs need those ; even if I find a quarter, it will probably have rust , particularly inner panel of trunk floor that drops down to join at wheel well ,and lip of wheel opening, section that joins to rocker; rocker, ; tops of front fenders and lower rear part of front fenders too. These things existed, were common, cheap, must be a BIG left over pile somewhere.. Just FYI, biggest rust/structural problem on C convert was front door post area near floor..all gone ---had to make from scratch. Inner and outer parts too , behind front wheel well. Lots in there… One C saved !! From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keith Boonstra kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] I can't say how well it would come out on an F, but it worked extremely well on my C. I bought a pair of 4-door Saratoga quarter panels from Jeff Carter because of extensive rust issues on my entire lower quarters, and we used roughly the lower half of each of them.Having the original stamped wheel openings of the 4-door saved a ton of work and looks perfect.
