Trunk Lid Torsion Rods

I am looking for a set that is correct for a deck lid that is set up with a rear spoiler. Is there after market heavy duty available?

 

I think the torsion rods are the same, they're locked in the first or middle notch for a regular deck lid- the third notch for a spoiler- I think....

 

I was wondering about that as well. I will give it a try.

 

Be very careful when you move those rods....they are under load when the trunk is up. I use a large pair of channel locks....about 2 feet long to move them to different slots.

 

Take George's word.... I removed a set recently from my 70 car and I believe holy Crap was screamed when all hell broke loose..

 

10-4, I have removed and reinstalled several times over the years, it can be quite a time!:af:

 

The GSX registry denotes a larger diameter rod set to handle the added weight of the spoiler. Not sure if this is true or not but I'd bet Duane would.

 

I had it in mind that there was a larger diameter rod set also hence why I was looking for a set or interchange otpions with other makes / models or aftermarket?

 

yes the spoiler trunk lid rods are a bigger diameter.

 

On my 68 Skylark, I need to replace my broken trunk torsion springs and came across this thread. Buick aftermarket springs are not out there, that I can find. True Connections in Riverside CA sell a set for the 68-72 Chevelle. Anyone know if these will work in my Buick? I think they will, but thought I'd ask anyway.

 

70-72 convertible has one part #.
70-72 coupe & sedan has another part #.
70-72 with rear spoiler has yet another #.

 

In case anyone's interested, the Chevelle trunk lid torsion rod (I only needed one replaced) popped in perfectly. Now I have an extra incase the other one goes.

 

It makes sense it would fit as the lids interchange.

 

It makes sense it would fit as the lids interchange. ANyone know the correct diameter of the W/spoiler spring

 

Monte Carlo lid interchanges, but I did not realize Chevelle /Malibu interchanged.o No:
