I have a 66 Valiant wagon in need of rear floors, I can find replacement pans up to 65 and 67 and up. Did I get a 1 year only model? I have a sheet of 18 guage that I can beat and bend into approximate shape if I need to, just looking for the easy route.

Sadly yes 66 is the one your model for the entire line if you just have to replace the front check for 66 barracuda as my understanding is they are the same
 
What is the difference?
The 66 I had looked to be the same structure as my 65 and 64.
 
No they are not the same, 66 is a one year only. There’s a guy on here that put a 67-69 amd floor in his. Maybe he will chime in
 
And hard top, sedan,2 and 4 doors and wagons are all different.
 
I believe the frame rails would be the same for all 66 darts and very well may be the same as 64 and 65 darts. the difference in the 4 1966 models would be the length of the floor pan .all models have different wheel bases. the difference between 66 and different model years like 64 and 65 is the strengthening ribs in the pan itself. I would post pictures of my 66 sedan but the front floors are rusted beyond recognition.
 
I may be wrong, but as far as I know the 64 to 66 floor pans, sheetmetal wise, are all the same. The reinforcements underneath the floor like in my 66 are different in the 64 65 which are almost non-existent.
The wagon floor, 4 door floor, and the 2 door floor are all the same. Dodge Darts are different though in the back as the seating area is larger and the floor is stretched out more, except in wagons.
 
I know that for B and E bodies the difference in wheel base was made up in the rear footwell pans. Frames and front pans are the same.
