The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova Rear Seat Back Panel is a factory-style stamped steel replacement designed to restore the structural foundation behind the rear seat in your classic Nova. Specifically engineered for 1968-1972 Chevy II and Chevrolet Nova models, this panel forms the vertical partition between the passenger cabin and the trunk area. It provides critical support for the rear seat back and helps maintain the structural rigidity of the rear body section. Ideal for replacing rusted or damaged originals, this panel is essential for both interior restoration and overall body strength.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Involves cutting, welding, and alignment; best performed by experienced restorers or professionals.
Remove the rear seat and any damaged or rusted portions of the original back panel. Prep the area by cleaning and test-fitting the replacement panel. Weld the new panel into place, ensuring it aligns properly with the floor pan and side structures. Grind the welds, apply seam sealer, and finish with primer before reinstalling the seat and trim components.
