Description
Rear Frame Cross Rail (Behind Rear Bumper) - 1968-1972 Chevy II Nova | OE-Style Replacement | AMD
Restore the rear structure of your classic X-Body with this Rear Frame Cross Rail for 1968-1972 Chevrolet Chevy II and Nova models. Manufactured using exclusive Auto Metal Direct (AMD) tooling, this premium OE-style replacement is precision stamped from the correct heavy-gauge steel to duplicate the original factory design for exceptional fit, strength, and durability. Finished in a durable black EDP coating, it provides maximum corrosion and rust protection prior to installation.
Located behind the rear bumper, this rear frame cross rail welds to the tail light panel and serves as the primary mounting point for the rear bumper brackets. It is a critical structural component of the rear body assembly and is commonly damaged by rust or rear-end collisions. The Rear Frame Cross Rail (AMD Part No. 870-3068-1) welds to the bottom of this panel, making both cross rails essential when replacing the tail light panel, trunk floor, or performing major rear body repairs.
For a complete restoration, AMD also offers the Rear Frame Rail Extensions (Part Nos. 871-3068-L and 871-3068-R), which complete the rear frame assembly. See the related items below.
