John,
I have a lot of '26-7 trunk photos that I have ripped off from everywhere if you want to see them.
I am curious about three things:
1) size of hole above battery,
2) how the spare tire bracket inside support attaches to the floor,
3) how the two steel posts come down from the rear window and land on top of the side rails...or beside it.
A photo could answer all three questions.

There are some photos by Don Booth in this posting that may be helpful. http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/33 ... 1385415681
Vern, did you receive answers to your question regarding battery box cover dimensions? If not, I can make that measurement and let you know, best, jb

I did not have a sub floor, as it had rotted away. So, I gathered all I could:
