Is there an article on this somewhere? A list of parts needed? I don't know anybody with a trunk in their coupe to even look at, so photos would be great!

Thanks,

Where at in Oregon are you Mike?

No, there is no article at this time BUT I am thinking when I get all the parts to do this...There just might be...Kind of like the Kerry-Kene Trunk article which I sent to MAFCA to be printed (Hopefully) in The Restorer some time soon.

However, if you were to get a copy of the FORD Indianapolis Service Letters, there is a Service letter that describes the "trunk to rumble seat conversion" and if one would be to work backward, you can kind of see just what parts are needed.

Needed parts:

1. Deck lid hinges;
2. Deck Door Support (as seen in Fig. 578 of September 1928 Service Bulletins);
3. Trunk Striker;
4. Trunk Handle (if different than Rumble handle);
5. A-45203 Floor Pan Rear Assembly (Without Rumble Seat);
