RE: 65 Coronet Convertible Jack Placement

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm pretty sure that the spare tire on a convertible goes on the floor 
of the trunk and not against the axle hump like the sedans and hardtops. 
 The Canadian B bodies also have the spare on the trunk floor and if you 
get the correct jacking instruction decal for the inside of the trunk 
lid, it may show the different arrangements for convertibles and 
Canadian cars.

The jack gets laid down on the floor with the hook and tire iron and 
then the spare gets put down on top of the hardware and the jack base is 
used like a big washer with a "T" shaped screw that holds everything 
snug.
