So I'm ordering the rubber seals from Steele, I did not like the LMC stuff original cross section I used. They show 3 door seal options, what are your opinion's?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
the last AD I worked on for door seals was a 54. the owner had lmc rubber installed himself and the stuff was so stiff the door wouldn't latch. he ended up removing that and we installed some softseal brand. it was like night and day. I wish I could remember the profile but sorry, my brain doesn't go back to that file, haha. I am pretty sure they only had one option on their ordering page. if there is an option for softness go with the softest one you can get. adjust the door to close properly without any seals and then add the seal. it should be soft enough to conform to the profile needed and allow the door to close without slamming it. there are some nice peel and stick options but not sure how long lasting the sticky would be if it sits out in the sun. might ask the brand of the 2 sided tape they use and maybe they could send a sample?

I had the same problem with the Precision brand weatherstrip. This was before the Soffseal peel and stick was available, so I used this: https://www.metrommp.com/index.cfm?f...ET&Model=TRUCK
It's a pain to glue on but my doors shut really good. They wouldn't shut at all with the Precision brand. |

SO truck update: I ordered Soft seal door seals. Truck has been put away since end of October, always a sad day. I didn't drive it much this year due to covid trying to avoid people from coming up and talking about my truck. But I finished off the year with a 22,300 mi on the truck since I built it. It has turned out to be very reliable, just jump in and go. I did have to buy a new cone air filter this year and I blew a 20A fuse for my stereo when I was rocking out. I think that is it.
I used my old '52 to pick up my new '52 from the sandblasters. Attachment 2066738 Attachment 2066739 Attachment 2066740 |

Re: My 52 GMC Build
It's awesome to see you're still enjoying it and using it! Sorry to hear you didn't drive it much this summer. I drove my car everyday I could. Until the rioting/protesting BS. Then I drove the orange truck. I couldn't take the chance of road blockers in the car.

I picked up a future upgrade to the power level in my truck. It is a 7.3L power stroke with trans and everything I need to make it run. When I build the motor up I will double the power I have now, to 350whp 700wtq. I forget how big the 7.3 is that is in there sometimes.

Well I finally pulled my truck out of it's slumber. Had a couple spark plugs go bad on me in the end of last season so I changed them all ;). Today I installed my new mirrors, so far I like the look but man it is stressful drilling holes in the doors. My new build will be getting the stock style mirrors I took off.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Upgrading to the powerstroke, uh oh, here goes the money train. :lol: Just start out in the beginning with a hydra and a T4 turbo set up. IDI's are alright, but you're going to love that PSD as you already said double the power. I really, really wanted to put a 7.3 PSD in my 40 ford but I just couldn't remove the 354 Hemi and justify it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
oh my gawd this pic of all the slammed identical looking trucks reminded me of when Easy Riders bike show came to town and these two Harley dudes were outside talking about their "Factory Custom" baggers, and then I swear to you on my '54 one of them got on the wrong bike, it was so embarrassing, I loved it.
