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.

Congrats. We need photos

As for the floor pans, you might find some at classicparts4u

or Chrysler (same shell in 1955-56):

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