I have used a couple sets of the US Car Tool ones and they have fit quite well. As always there will be variations between cars so some fitment will be needed.

I have US CarTool connectors on my '69 RR. They're "ok" ... but if I were doing it again I'd just go with 2x2x3/16" square tubing - cut an opening in the rear frame rail to slide them in and weld and butt weld to the front crossmember. I don't think there's any advantage to welding anything the full length of the floor.

The USCarTool pieces can be frustrating. The fit is not perfect nor is it continuous. So you'll be trying to fill big gaps and will also have numerous additional gaps along the length. Whatever you decide on, keep in mind your e-brake cable needs to pass through and also make provisions for brake and/or fuel lines.

Sure. The first is a mock up and I made notes on the gaps and then trimmed slightly to fit snugly on the floor. Then the floor prepped, and installed.

I've also put USCT ones on my 67 and they fit ok. Way more beating the floor pan down to fill gaps than I expected.

you can eliminate the front tab if the gap is wide.......makes it tighter to the floor and flush with the front rail

either way.... it's a good look
