Trunk Lid

[Mike G]

Anyone know how the aftermarket trunk lids are or should I find a factory one?

 

Thanks,

I think the trunk lid is the same as the Chevelle so there should be plenty of options around, including repros. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I used an aftermarket trunk lid. The fit was very good and the only complaint I had was the key cylinder indentation is larger than the Monte Carlo one. (I suppose it fits Chevelle and MC). When you put the MC badge on the indent is larger so it shows around the emblem, if that makes sense to you. The trunk lid is otherwise perfect however if you are doing a show car I would see if I could find a good condition factory one.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like a good used one is the way to go.

This is late, but the you can use the Chevelle, Pontiac Tempest or Buick trunk lids. Buy a good used. I have seen them locally for $50-$100. Don't know about yoru area.

68-72 Chevelle, 70-72 Skylark and 70-72 Monte Carlo, shipping them can easily go with Fed Ex, ground shipping is around the $50-60

I got a deck lid from Auto Metal Direct about a year ago. Really nice quality, heavy gauge steel and ready for paint. Steve Levanti was impressed by the quality and he is not impressed easily.

 

Here is an eBay link but they sell direct and are also available through Summit, Jegs.

mike, don't know if you are still looking for a trunk lid. there is a guy named steve demers that use to deal in first gen and chevelle parts. he is in vt but comes down to the stafford springs racetrack for the swap meet(apr 15, 2012). His phone # is 603 894-1152 or shop # 508 372 7288. it's been a few years since i've dealt with him but you might give him a try.
