1950 Shoebox Trunk Latch Strike

[rockabilly]

Does anyone have a line on a trunk strike for a 1950 shoebox? I have searched high and low to even find a picture of one and I can't. When I purchased the car, it didn't come with the trunk key and it looks like they must have removed the bottom strike in an effort to gain access. This is the style latch I have in the trunk lid:

For the life of me I cannot seem to find the bottom trunk mounted strike part, or even a picture of one. At least that would give me an idea of how to fab a new one from scratch. I have to be missing something. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I would suggest you contact Chris at 610-442-2187 after noon. He has MANY 49-51 parts cars.

Does anyone have a '50 that they can take a picture of their trunk strike please?

You set on using the factory latch? I have a '49 so my latch is a bit different but I connected a bear claw latch to the original release handle. It was pretty easy to do

Rockabilly, I have taken pictures of my '50 Ford trunk latch. Now I am waiting for Spectrum to repair the email website so I can post. If you want, you can pm me with your cell phone number and I can text them to you.

Blessings,
Pat
