beads and seals
65 Suburban
inner fender to firewall seal - the slot in the seal is thicker on one side. Thicker toward the engine compartment or the wheel well? Body to fender Bead (inner to outer fender seal) - bead up and between the mating overlaps (inside) or down and to the outside (wheel well) ? Pictures for both questions? Paul |

Re: beads and seals
Lots of pics of closing panels, but not much on inner fender to firewall or inner fender to outer fender. Saw a mention of a seal between the inner fender and the radiator support. Anyone have any info on that?

Re: beads and seals
I have all the seals. I'm looking for info on installation. Those pics show the closing panel and the rear fender support. The only pic that shows any of the inner fender to firewall seal is the one that shows the steering boot. In that pic you can see the slot and loop in the seal. The rubber in the slot is thicker on one side than the other. Trying to find out whether the thicker side goes toward the engine compartment or the wheel well. No pics yet of the seal between the inner and outer fender. It has a bead in it. Trying to find out whether the bead goes on the engine compartment side or the wheel well side.

Re: beads and seals
I just looked at my inner fender seal and it is the same thickness on both sides of the split.
Here is a picture I just took. |

Re: beads and seals
I can't find any information on inner fender to outer fender bead. I haven't seen anything other than what has been shown in the other threads. When I was looking at my inner fender, I only saw staple holes near the firewall on the inner fender. So in my mind, the only other seals are on the outer fender. Except where does #6 go?

Re: beads and seals
I just found this post...says #6 is "as needed" Whatever that means. I don't remember seeing anything like that on my truck.

Re: beads and seals
That's the one. Goes along the outer lip of the inner fender where the outer and inner fender lips meet and overlap My truck had many seals missing so I had nothing to go on.

Re: beads and seals
And the bolts on top that hold the fender on holds the seal on?

Re: beads and seals
Paul...I found some pictures that I think will be helpful to both of us. I was searching another project and saw this post...You can see the inner fender to firewall gasket and you can also see the gasket from inner fender to outer fender in the 2nd picture bottom right...makes more sense now!

Re: beads and seals
Thank You. That answers the question on the bead. It looks as though the
bead will need to round the corner of the inner fender lip so the last little upturn of the outer fender rests on the bottom edge of the bead. It doesn't appear to be compressed at all between the two. I think I'll put a little RTV along there and alone the edge of the two in the wheel well. |

Re: beads and seals
Great! Now, I was looking closer...does gasket go here also where the red arrow is against the radiator support? I don't think so, but not sure.

Re: beads and seals
I have seen replacement seals for sale for there, but I didn't end up buying them for my truck since I was trying to get it back together quickly

Re: beads and seals
There's a complete set of inner fender to outer fender seals on page 94 of the truckandcarshop catalogue. Also saw the same kit at Classic Parts.
Classic Industries has the pieces for the inner to outer fender and inner to core support without having to buy the outer fender to cab seals if you already have those

Re: beads and seals
Thanks Christian...got some stuff ordered from Classic Industries. I already had some of the seals, so I got the front inner fender gaskets and a few other odds and ends. Much appreciated!

Re: beads and seals
So what's the consensus. Is there a seal between the inner fender and the radiator support(core support) and what does it look like? The inner to outer fender bead type seal? Seems like all of these seals will affect the shims needed to make things fit right.

Re: beads and seals
The bead seal came in a 25' roll, much more than is needed along the top of the fenders. Bead in or bead out?
