Carl, Keith and Friends,

I guess this makes sense - that there shouldn't be a "pie-tin" cover on the spare for the F.

I did purchase one of these covers a few years ago, and have it on my F, I also added the thin rubber edging, sold by Gary Goers (his part #W106), but shortly thereafter was advised by other Club members that the edging was used only on DeSotos, so I removed it.

A few months ago I purchased the correct spare tire mounting fastener that Dave Schwandt had for sale. I installed this fastener in my trunk, but found that it did not extend tall enough, to also secure this "pie-tin" cover. Now, hearing that this cover doesn't belong in my trunk makes sense!

G trunk page is here: Chrysler 300 Club Internaltional 300G Trunk

We were not able to create an F trunk page because no one could supply photos of a totally original unrestored F trunk, which was the requirement for the page.

Folks
I went to the tech section and there’s no pix that I can find of an F (or G) trunk . Does anyone know if the F had a “pie-tin” cover on the spare when new? We’re up at camp so I can’t readily access any of the old road tests (I.e. Ray Brock’s Hot Rod or Uncle Tom McCahill’s MI tests.) to see if there’s a shot of the trunk.
Thanks,
Keith
