Help-what's this part called? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VonDog · 02-16-2015, 08:43 PM

Can't seem to find this part - found the seals but not the metal part. Started replacing fender supports, floorpan and rockers but all was eaten by rust. Searched LMC and Topbanana but only find the support which I have and need the piece that the seals fit onto then onto the fender supports-ugh!!!

LVPhotos · 02-16-2015, 09:00 PM

It's a dust shield and it's not really needed, so if yours are bad you canleave them out. Not reproduced.

hotrod66 · 02-16-2015, 09:09 PM

Think it's called front fender seal

**Captainfab** · 02-17-2015, 12:58 AM

I believe that is called a closing panel and seal. I believe the seal is reproduced, but not the panel itself. You will have to find a good used one. You might try the '60-'66 classifieds here on the forum.

im sure someone on here could help you out

Modges'66 · 02-17-2015, 09:01 PM

I researched them, but couldn't find them anyplace. Bought a set of used ones & sandblasted, painted & added new seals...

**DPowers** · 02-17-2015, 11:30 PM

Looks good

63burban · 02-18-2015, 12:01 AM

The seals keep the crap from the front tire from getting into the door jamb

VonDog · 02-18-2015, 12:20 AM

Thanks for the replies guys!!! Got a little further along - cleaned and put por15 on the ? Fender dirt guard? But the small seal as in the second picture from Modges'66 on mine is Toast! Gonna rebuild it next week when I get home from work.

VonDog · 02-18-2015, 12:26 AM

Here's mine like Modges'66 (the middle pic in his post). Guess I got some fabrication in front of me

Update - rebuilt the small seal piece. Not perfect but it's unseen so I'm not worried about it.

Before!

Maybe this will help. I got some of these part fron 4 5 6 chevy.

Modges'66 · 02-18-2015, 10:51 PM

Hey man, I don't think that I would waste the time to fab them...Seriously, I think that I bought all of these pieces for both sides (6 pcs.) for like $30 from some yard in AZ. online.
They are real nice, basically perfect once sandblasted!
I bought all of the clips that hold them on from Classic truck parts....I just searched my thread trying to figure out where I bought the filler pieces, but found that I never even posted the installation of these before putting on the fenders.
Kind of a bummer when you consider that I haven't posted progress in months, and now I notice that I forgot to post things...

nhr3 · 02-19-2015, 09:07 AM

My truck was missing these pieces when I bought it in the 80's. During my present restoration I came up with this solution from 1/4 sheet rubber I bought on ebay. I am very happy with the results and it should last longer than what was there originally IMHO.

64chevtruck · 02-19-2015, 11:10 AM

Nice work,

frankslagoon · 02-19-2015, 01:11 PM

I ran right over to the J yard and got all of em I could find. Only two sets worth a darn. besides ordering, what other retainers can we use to hold em to the fender support.
