The basic inner and outer panels are the same for both lids with the finished lids differing only in the number and location of holes and the presence or absence of clinch nuts for the rumble lid hinges and deck lid prop on the left side.

You will need to install the panel inside the lower back panel of the body that serves as a base for the deck lid stops and latch catch. Likely you'll end up having to use the Brookville panel for that purpose. And you''ll need a deck lid latch assembly as the spacing between the inner and outer panels differs from the top of the lid to the bottom of the lid and the shank on your handle will also have to be shortened. If your handle assembly is an original in good shape, perhaps you can trade with someone seeking a rumble lid handle as these days the deck lid version is more in demand than the rumble lid version. If you make the conversion and have a mint keyed handle, please send me a PM and I might have a swap for you.
