The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova Rear Seat Back Panel Lower Support is a precision-stamped steel component designed to reinforce the lower portion of the rear seat back area. Specifically engineered for 1968-1972 Chevy II and Chevrolet Nova models, this panel mounts behind the lower section of the rear seat back, providing essential structural support and alignment for the seat and surrounding sheet metal. Ideal for replacing rusted, bent, or missing factory supports, this panel helps ensure long-term durability and a secure fit during interior restoration.
Installation:
Difficulty: 3/5 – Moderate installation requiring removal of interior trim and welding or bolting; suitable for experienced DIYers or professionals.
Remove the rear seat and any trim obstructing the lower support panel area. Cut out or unbolt the damaged original support if present. Clean and prep the surrounding metal. Align the new support panel and weld or bolt it into place as needed. Finish with seam sealer and primer before reinstalling the seat and interior components.
