The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova / Ventura Trunk Lid Hinge Lower Support Brackets are essential structural components that reinforce the trunk hinge mounting points for safe and reliable trunk lid operation. Designed specifically for 1968-1972 Chevy II, Chevrolet Nova, and Pontiac Ventura models, these stamped steel brackets mount beneath the trunk hinge area to provide critical support where the hinges connect to the body. Perfect for replacing rusted or weakened originals, these brackets help ensure smooth opening and closing of the trunk lid and maintain proper trunk alignment during restoration.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires trunk area disassembly and welding; recommended for experienced restorers or professionals.
Access the trunk hinge area by removing the trunk lid and interior panels if necessary. Cut out any rusted or damaged lower support brackets. Clean and prepare the surrounding metal. Align the new brackets with the hinge mounting points and weld securely into place. Grind the welds smooth, apply seam sealer and primer, and reinstall the trunk lid and related components.
