The 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Rear Cross Rail is a precision-stamped steel structural panel designed to reinforce the rear of the trunk floor and support the tail panel and rear body structure. Specifically engineered for 1962-1965 Chevy II models, this cross rail mounts transversely at the rear of the vehicle, tying together the trunk floor, quarter panels, and rear valance. It features factory-style contours and mounting points for accurate fitment and is essential for restoring rear-end strength and alignment in collision-damaged or rusted vehicles.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and proper body alignment; best performed by experienced restorers.
Remove the old or damaged rear cross rail by drilling out spot welds. Clean and prepare surrounding metal. Test-fit the new panel to ensure alignment with the trunk floor and quarter panels. Weld into place using spot or seam welds, grind smooth, apply seam sealer, and finish with primer and undercoating for long-term protection.
