Default Floor pan replacement for a 74 Blazer

Anyone out there have any advice on replacing the floor pans in a 74 blazer. I have ordered and returned after market parts as they are nothing like the current floors. The curves, bolt holes, dimensions don't even come close to lining up. Recently purchased this 74 and the only rust is in the floors. Looking to make solid. I am now looking in junkyards for a donor. Is the 74 floors different from the rest? Newer models appear more flat? Any thoughts....any help is appreciated!

Hand fab or find a donor (good luck). I have been unable to find any replacements for the '73-'77 floor pan area that is just behind the front seats. In '78, the floor pan was extended back to allow for more rear seat leg room and these are the only replacement panels that are available from my research. I plan on rolling some sheetmetal to match the contour at the back, then make up some forms to press the raised areas into the pans for the seat attachment areas, etc.
