The last time I checked with Layson's restorations for a floor pan for my '65 Valiant, they had ones for Dart or Later Valiants, and for an older, narrow body some trimming was required and it was not a drop in fit. Or you could make do with some sheet metal that you fabricate yourself.

Those early (63-66) front pans from Layson's should fit any early year since front floors were all the same. As Valiants had a shorter wheelbase, the rear pans were correspondingly shorter than the Dart. With some judicious trimming, it should also fit the Valiant. Before they repoped the early pans, I used repro pans from the 67-76 A Bodies and modified where needed to make them fit. Voila, no more rusted out floorpans in my 65 Dart.

Auto Body Specialties has them see the catalog page here, and the link to their website.

I bought some for my 65 Barracuda a year ago. They seem to be made well, but I haven't gotten them installed yet.

Front floor pans are $90 each. Their site says the rear pans are coming soon, but it said that for over a year so you might want to try calling them to see if they're ready yet. They will be at Chrysler's at Carlisle this July, so if you want to save on shipping you can get them there. If you go this route call them, and see if you can get them to reserve what you need.

Holy crap, what a great resource! Never seen this place before. They even have a reproduction of the 1960-only "30D Economy Slant-6" valve cover decal!

I have a complete and no rust floor pan cut from my wrecked 68 B'cuda race car. $40.00 and it's yours but you have to come to California and pick it up.
