Interesting thread. What do these seals accomplish? I'm thinking in-cab wind noise abatement. -Kevin

Re: cowl foam placement pics
I don't have a clue. I've never had a truck (I've had 10 or 12 of the 67-72) that had them.

Re: cowl foam placement pics
I think im going to glue mine to the cowl instead of the cab. They will be inthe same place once installed.

Re: cowl foam placement pics
That's where I've always seen them, on the panel. I just forgot where they go.

I installed these when I put in my Hinge Pillar to Fender Seals. I think these two seals go hand & hand. The cowl seals are far easier to get installed than the fender seals, that's for sure. I put it off for a few years and when I did, I slapped on a "Super" badge while I was there to make it more rewarding to me. I can't really say how much the cowl seals helped but the whole setup did make a difference. That being said, having them installed likely just makes me feel better, since missing them is a bit of a ding when you have a Cheyenne.

Re: cowl foam placement pics
My 72 Cheyenne has them or I should say had them. I need to replace after paint.

Re: cowl foam placement pics
I believe the main purpose is prevent metal on metal issues...adding some very minor soundproofing.
