Liftgate Repair Service

Nomad Liftgate Repair

The Nomad liftgate is one of the most complex — and most broken — assemblies on a Tri-Five. We fix them right.

The Only Shop Focused on Nomad Liftgates

The 1955–1957 Chevrolet Nomad liftgate is a beautiful piece of engineering — and a notorious headache for restorers. Worn hinges, missing hardware, seized mechanisms, and decades of amateur repairs make most liftgates a project in themselves.

We've rebuilt more Nomad liftgates than anyone we know. We understand the failure points, the correct specs, and what it takes to get a liftgate operating the way it did when it left the factory.
