Default 1978 Formula trunk lid strut...?

Can someone tell me what the part is called that keeps the trunk lid open? I'm trying to find this part but cannot locate one for this year. I know it was some type of torsion bar that broke on my father's car years ago but now I'm trying to get it fixed up and cannot find the part. Thanks much!

Trunk spring?

Go used on this one. I have to think this is a low wear item.
