The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Help! 32 Cab: Mounting rumble lid cushion to deck lid

It appears that you are missing the pair of clinch ('D') nuts that fit into the indentations near the bottom of the rumble lid shown in your second photo. The two tabs at the bottom of the cushion assembly attach to the lid with screws into the (missing) nuts after the top tabs are inserted to the slots at the top and the whole cushion is then securely held into place on the rumble lid.

That the clinch nuts are missing is not unusual as they are obviously under a fair amount of stress given the weight of a rumble seat back cushion. It was not an inspired design.
