'55 - '59 LCF Truck Parts

[DoctorGlenn]

While most of the parts for the '55 - '59 LCF parts interchange with conventional cab trucks, where do you LCF folks find LCF specific parts? I'm currently having trouble finding cab door weatherstripping and the latches and handles for the swing out access panels between the hood and fenders on my '56 GMC F370.

The parts are hard to find. I made my door weather strip from a conventional door weather strip. I might have some of the handles and latches. Give ma a couple days to look for them.

Thanks very much. I was guessing that I'd have to modify a set of conventional cab door weatherstripping. Was there sufficient length to what you bought to make it work or did you have to buy extra to piece together?

Take your time looking, but if you do have the latches and handles I'd be very happy to take them off your hands. The PO is "still looking" for some of the obvious stuff that's either tough to find or expensive to replace but I'm not optimistic that he'll come across them.

I am pretty sure I was able to do it with just one set. I glued it on with super weather adhesive

Here's the part book breakdown of the latch pieces. The parts I need are underlined in red. I've also attached a photo of what the latch knobs look like.
