51 300 Trunk latch assembly

Posted by Mark Stivers On 2022/5/26 11:13:12

Between my 400 and 300, I found a difference in the trunk latch. The 400 has a formed latch where, the trunk mechanism on the trunk lid locks on to whereas, the 300 has an iron loop bolted to the lower trunk body panel. Hence my confusion. The 300 didn't have a lid mechanism. I swapped the 400 to the 300 and, it doesn't latch, due to the difference in the two. Anyone happen to have a trunk lid lock/latch assembly that works with the bolted iron "loop" style ?
