if you want to know anything ask ben stewart he wrote the book on them,i sold him every aust musclecar road test from the 60's and 70's many years ago.also the HK had steel front control arm bushes instead of rubber,just like HR's etc also the door locks different etcthe next model HT was a real transition stage.
they did get rust under the rear side window,gm put a piece of foam there originally,also under the rear window and the spare tyre well,but shit if i still had the 2 HT 350 bathursts i owned in the mid 90's i could probably buy new zealand.back then i used to drive them to work.
@pescadoygamba I had the same problem with my HT Monaro that I owned from 1974' - 80' I found that a strip of material like underfelt was between the inner and outer sheetmetal, and when the rear window rubber seal aged over time water ran down to the felt insert and remained wet which caused the rusting problem.
