1923 coupe interior

Post by nickd312 » Sun Aug 15, 2021 10:53 am

I am putting my grandfather's 1923 coupe back together after it has been apart for about 50 years. I have just about all the parts, but I am not sure if I am missing any of the wood pieces for the interior/seat frame. Does anyone have pictures of how the wood goes, so I can see what I am missing and how it goes together. Drawings of the pieces would be nice as well incase I need to remake anything.

Thanks for the help
Nick

Is your '23 an early one with suicide doors or the later one '24-'25?
When did I do that?

Awesome thank you. Do you had to have anything on how the seat frame goes in?

These might help. One shows the new springs sitting in the frame.

If I may suggest, go to: (http://www.cimorelli.com/mtdl/mtdl_year_title_list.htm) and review the ford publications for years 1922-1923.

I just found this link and think it has some better photos.

Though it's a '19 much could be similar.
When did I do that?

Thank you for all the help. It looks like I might have a few extra piece. Mine look closer to the last link of a 19. I attached pictures of what I have.

I think this attached to the seat, but then it does not fit into the back wood piece that clips to the back of the body

Yes. This one was has the truck bed kit on it. So when the back end was cut off there is no where for the tank to go.
