Tool tray
Hi All,
What year did Ford stop putting tool trays (compartments) in the trunks of 41-48 coupes? My 47 appears to never had one, just curious. Many Thanks |

Hi, I was always told that that went away when they used up all of the 1942 floor pans. My early 1946 convertible had one. My later 1946 coupe does not have one.

Re: Tool tray
And, as expected my '47 does not. Guessing that when Ford shut down the assembly lines to convert to the war effort, all those '42 floor pans got moth balled?? War ends in 1945, production resumes, and those pans were used first??

Tools were on their way out. After the 8BA era began, there was only a jack & tire replacement tooling. The whiz kids had to save money. |

My 46 Super Deluxe Coupe does not have one. My 46 does have a spare tire well that had a factory cover welded over it and never used a a spare tire well. I assume a different body style used it.
