Changing back to a trunk will be a lot easier. If you used the original trunk lid when you converted to a rumble , there will mostly be holes to fill rather than holes to drill . No D nuts or threads to install. The curved inner rear panel will have to be changed back but it is a bolt in panel. When I changed our coupe to a rumble I left the trunk latch in place being as it wouldn't be seen and I just filled the hole where the trunk handle use to be. Some just use a rubber plug . The main problem with a rumble seat is that adults want to ride in it. Adults climbing in an out puts extra strain on the qauarters and right rear fender .
