The 1962-1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Right Hand Trunk Gutter Side Brace is a factory-style stamped steel support panel designed to reinforce the passenger-side trunk gutter and rear body structure. Specifically engineered for 1962-1965 Chevy II models, this brace installs beneath the trunk gutter, providing critical support where the trunk floor, quarter panel, and rear body meet. It ensures proper alignment, drainage, and structural integrity in a commonly rust-prone area. Ideal for restorations, this part is essential for completing trunk floor and quarter panel repairs with confidence and accuracy.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and alignment; suitable for experienced restorers.
Remove the old brace by drilling out spot welds and cleaning the surrounding metal. Test-fit the new side brace to ensure alignment with the trunk floor and quarter panel. Weld into place, grind smooth, apply seam sealer, and finish with primer and undercoating for corrosion protection.
