  • Lifestyle floor pan

    I'm looking for a floor pan for a club cab 77 w300 manual transmission. I have found right & left patches, but no tunnel, just the tunnel will suffice. If possible id like to find the pan replacement from fire wall to seats.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

        I think the birdbath style refers to the two detentes in the hood that tend to collect rain water

        1955 C-3 PW (Woodrow)

              I remember hearing it growing up, my grandfather sold cars for Dodge and I remember the show room vehicles and all the sales literature. I think it was a marketing thing back then (70s). I remember the brochures touted the different "lifestyles" like a beach truck, farm truck, camping, etc.

              Surprised you never heard it Dodgeboys.

                l went thru all my OLD dealer fliers and pamphlets and did find reference to "lifestyles" and YES it was an Advertising gimmick and not a truck line , it just proves a point that the internet is what ever anybody writes = including what l posted , so its just bad memory and opinion / CygnusX1 l did not mean to insult or Dis you in anyway

                  How close are the floor pans between the 72-80 and the 81-93? I ask as I did a floor pan install on a 91 Ramcharger and they looked just like the 84's.
                  I drive a DODGE, not a ram!

                  Thanks,

                    I could have been clearer when I wrote "Third Generation '72 - '80".
                    I have referred to third gen W & D trucks as lifestyle, just as I refer to second gen W & D as sweptside.

                    It looks like I will have to cut the transmission tunnel out of the 93 and use it in the 77.
                    I have found several manufactures that re-pop the floor pans.
                    I haven't noticed any difference between the floor pans from 77-93.

                      Doesn't the tunnel just bolt down in a '77?

                          Some were bolt in and some weren't. I have had examples of both..

                            YES some were bolt in , my 1983 [slant 6, 4-spd ] was a bolt in = made it easy to pull the tranny to change the clutch

                              also automatics and 4x4,s had different tunnels

                              auto,s had NO hump for std tranny

                              4x4,s had a bump for t-case

                              so there is like 4 different tunnels
