'84 Monte trunk lid problem
 
The trunk lid of my 84 Monte Carlo will not stay up because the torsion bars mounted inside the trunk that work with the hinges have broken. Has this happened to anyone else? Where can I find replacement parts? I have checked with several places online with no luck and done searches and still no luck. Must be somebody out there with these parts.
Thanks

Do u have salvage yards nearby? 78-88 GPs, Regals, cutlasses r interchangeable 4 that kind of stuff

Thanks for the salvage yard tip and other vehicles that will work. I was at a salvage yard this past saturday and almost took some bars out of a 78-88 GP. The bars were very similar but I wasn't sure because one end of each bar was slightly different.................probably not enough to matter?

There u go, bro. If u check the specifications you'll see they work on everything

I found the bars I needed on a 84 cutlass..........problem solved. Thanks.
I also need both left and right doors and a trunk lid because mine are badly rusted

The doors will bolt right up & close, but I think the body lines r different on a cutlass. Also. I'm pretty sure the trunks r a little different due to the way they're contoured 4 the tailights.
