This document is an exploded parts diagram of the rear storage compartment for 1968–1979 Chevrolet Corvettes, as captioned "68-79 Rear Storage Compartment." The illustration shows the compartment assembly disassembled and separated so the relationship of each component can be seen. Labeled parts include the handle loop, latch, bezel, doors, frames, tray, hardware kits (shown in two locations), light, light lens, hinges, battery door seal, surround, center liner, and "stiker" (likely a misprint for striker). The diagram shows how the three-door compartment behind the seats assembles: the doors mount to frames via hinges, the frames sit within a surround that installs over the compartment openings, a removable tray fits in one compartment, and a battery door seal fits the battery access door. A courtesy light and lens are shown mounting near the compartment, and small fasteners (screws, nuts, washers) from the hardware kits are illustrated in exploded fashion. A reader can use this diagram to identify part names, understand assembly order, and determine which components are needed when restoring or repairing the rear storage compartment area on a C3 Corvette of this year range. No part numbers, torque values, or textual instructions are included—only callout labels and the caption.
