70 Elky's and how the body is built

[slingslingbinks]

I have 2 70 Elky's. One has a good bed with rotted out floor pan's and the other has good floor pans and a rotted out bed. What i want to do is take VERRY good measurement's and split them in 2 right behind the smugglers hatch and put them back together. Sence they need both rear quarters and i'll use the front half that has a good legal vin tag. There might b some reataching and welding on the sides of the bed, but after replacing the rear quarters they will b coverd up. I have fisher factory assy. manuals and body books for 1970. But there is no info on where the factory spot weld's are all at. I wish i knew some one who worked at the fisher body factory that knew the assy. order that these body's were built. any info on these from 1969 to 1972 should b the same or any info on a station wagon these same year's will also b helpfull sence the station wagon is about the same as an Elky but with a roof on it. Tks Scott

probably be more reasonable to sell the one with a bad bed and just get floor pans put into the other one, rather than go through the trouble of cutting it up.

The Elky with the bad bed is my first car i bought, 35 years ago. And it's the one i'll fix. I'll figure it out some day. Tks for your input.

i understand the attachment, maybe give the guys at the elcamino store a call and see if one of them could answer a few questions. they should pretty much know those years inside and out.

sucks that the bed is bad, not as easy as just doing floor pans.
