front fender gaskets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

prg machine · 05-24-2008, 03:39 PM

I have ordered up a set of the front fender gaskets ,as they are called, from Brothers Truck. Does anyone have a picture of how these mount up? Are there any anti-squeak rubber shims or the such that mount up under the mounting points of the fenders to the cab?
Thanks

I have not heard of fender gaskets. Can you describe them and let us know where they are used?

The only thing that comes to mind arre the fender to cab seals.

I believe that is what they are brothers calls them "dust seals" also

prg machine · 05-25-2008, 05:04 AM

there are big ones that are shaped like the rear of the fender and smaller ones that look like a large circle about the size of a plum.......anyway here is a picture of them

prg machine · 05-25-2008, 05:08 AM

sorry..... kinda blurry. I guess i will fi9t them up and see if i can figure them out tommorow. The small ones confuse me..............do they fit at the fender to cab location also?

caminokid · 05-25-2008, 02:53 PM

Out of all the trucks I have worked on...I dont remember ever seeing them on them.

prg machine · 05-25-2008, 06:24 PM

very interesting...............................and here i have a set and wondering if i will even use them now?

If You Dont End Up Using Them Send Them My Way They Are Factory To My Truck. So Let Me Know If You Need To Get Rid Of Them...thanks

They came on my truck. It is a 72 Jimmy 2wd with Cheyanne package and air (if that means anything). Since the lower part of the cab was replaced in that area during paint, I had to locate and drill holes for the new rubber. I just posted this topic about 2 weeks ago. I had a gentleman from this forum tell me they only came on air trucks... that 69CST above puts the end to that theory. Im still thinking of taking them off. I just wanted them on for authenticity. Most of my buddies just laugh at me for that because of my drivetrain. Its altered some.

Send them 2 me I'll be glad to use them. Larry

I checked the link to the ones pictured on Classic Industries..................................Brothers only shipped me 2 of the ovals and NO staples.....................I hate to pass on a problem to someone else. I am going to call Brothers and send them back.

71 super · 05-27-2008, 05:19 AM

CST/ Cheyenne/Super/Sierra/Grande had them originally, they serve to seal engine compartment heat and dust similar items on new model trucks. The small "plum" shaped pieces mount one at the top one at the bottom of the metal bracket. The staples that are sent with them are a pain in the a** to use, I use a heavy staple like you might use to hold insulation in place in your house. They are side specific so you should lay them out and look at the old ones if possible for reference if nt be sure you look at the brackets as I think they are marked left and right. Hope this clears up any confusion, if not I can get some pictures tomorrow. Not found "only" on air trucks but upper option package trucks.

badpeanut · 05-27-2008, 07:50 AM

My '72 Sierra with air has them.

dazza · 05-27-2008, 08:14 AM

Classic Parts has them... looks like "Deluxe pickups only" here is their description...

"Die-stamped rubber seals that fit between the rear edge of the front fender & cab. Originally used on deluxe pickups only."

My truck can live without this fit up nightmare!
I have enough trouble just getting the darn fenders to line up straight...............my truck never had em..............I don't have the bracketry.............Brothers didn't send all the parts.............etc. etc. etc.

life is too short to try and figure this one out!
