Just bought a 56 desoto wagon. It runs/moves stops! Floors are atrocious, it's going to need some serious fab work before it hits the road. I already checked with big M. Anyone know where I can get a clean floorpan?

Welcome and add some picts. of your car. Always nice to see another Suburban. Here's my 60 Plymouth Suburban.
When I had my wagon painted, it also needed Lf. front floor pan. I found a guy that made them from scratch. Sorry but I can't find the name right now.
As I recall, it wasn't extremely expensive and looked very similar to the Rt. side.

Did your try RCar or Black Car LLC? I got a lot of patch panels from both although it was a while ago.
