The 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Left Hand Trunk Gutter Side Brace is a factory-style stamped steel support panel designed to reinforce the driver-side trunk gutter area where the trunk floor, quarter panel, and rear structure converge. Engineered specifically for 1962-1965 Chevy II models, this brace provides critical support for proper trunk alignment and drainage while restoring structural integrity in a commonly rust-prone section. Ideal for restorations or rust repair, this component ensures a secure and factory-accurate fit during rear-end rebuilds.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and careful alignment; best handled by experienced installers.
Drill out spot welds and remove the original brace. Clean and prepare all mating surfaces. Test-fit the new panel, ensuring alignment with the trunk floor and quarter panel. Weld securely in place, grind welds smooth, apply seam sealer, and finish with primer and undercoating for corrosion protection and long-term durability.
