since they are both b bodies even though its a 4 door car (car im looking at), would the trunk FLOOR section from a 68 Plymouth Satellite work as a trunk floor in a 69 Charger?

from the rear axel hump and back, found a 68 im thinking bout parting out and keeping the floor if it works

Considering the gas tank filler is behind the license plate on the Satellite, I doubt it.

that's one problem I was looking at, but if width and length etc is the same I don't mind doing some modifications

I believe the opening for the filler is the only difference. But it is not just a hole. The Charger pan has a raised flat platform created in the pan in that spot to attach the gasket and metal mounting frame against. The standard B body sits lower in that spot with bead patterns continuing across the rest of the pan.

luckily for me that raised part is the only good part of my trunk floor haha

Funny this topic came up...
I just replaced the trunk floor in my 68 Charger. I accidentally ordered the wrong one, the floor for a Coronet/Satellite. It was my fault for ordering the wrong one, and I was off work for a couple of days and wanted to get started on it, so I decided to cut the raised section/fuel neck knock out off the original floor (like you about the only good part left) and weld it on my new floor, instead of fooling with shipping the wrong pan back and waiting on another one.
