Topic: '39 rumble seat questions

  I have a '39 Deluxe conv/coupe rumble seat that is missing some parts. ie. remote latch cable, latch strike-plate, springs etc. Is there a resource for 1. diagrams or photos of how this should all look/operate and 2. a source for these missing parts? As always, thanks for the help. Phil

  Some pictures attached that hopefully will help. Cable is simply choke cable used on lawn mowers, etc. Most farm supply places sell it by the foot.
Latch is going to be tough to find.
Handle is the same as any 39 Ford but requires a piece that pulls the cable - easily fabricated.

  Dear Kube, great photos. Thank you so much. I wonder if the striker plate would be the same as the coupe trunk. That one is available. Thanks again. Phil

  The convertible coupe mechanism is very unique.

  That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input.
