The front torque boxes are welded between the front framerail and the inner rocker panel directly beneath the toeboard. Convertibles had them installed on both sides. 67 Coupes and fastbacks had them only on the driver's side until 1968 and up then they were installed on both sides.
They are a structural component used to prevent the unibody from twisting.

Hey Rhyno9
What a GREAT SITE you posted. Boy, did that help me out on how i have too
replace my torque boxes on my '66 Convert.
I have to replace the REAR SEAT EXTENSION on both side. Where that little clip is that the back seat hooks-up too.
I believe that's what you call that piece of sheet metal: Rear Seat Extension
Being a newbie (as you might have guess) I'm not sure where to cut and re-install that piece of sheet metal for the back end of my floor pan
QUESTION(S)
Are there any picture sites out there, that i may learn HOW TOO replace those rear floor pan pieces ? I looked & came up empty
Thanks again for that great site.
GOD BLESS
Schooner

I used that site when I replaced my torque boxes also.
As for the seat extension I am not sure which piece you are talking about? A picture of the damaged part would help me to visualize.

The problem I am having is my current car is a fastback with a fold down seat. My previous stang was a coupe which I parted out (over 5 yrs ago) so I am sure I saw it but I just don't remember.
