Door Bumpers
I see this door bumper listed for a '63. My truck does not have these bumpers. Should it have these bumpers, where do they go and how many per door? Can someone post a photo showing location?
Thanks for the help, Hugh |

Re: Door Bumpers
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess the previous owner filled the holes. I should be able to get them close enough from your photo.

Re: Door Bumpers
mine had the holes, but they were too small for the reproductions. It's no big deal, just drill some new ones and push them in.

Re: Door Bumpers
The repros come in two sizes: one for big holes and one for small. My truck (a '64) uses the ones for the smaller holes.

Re: Door Bumpers
yup... at least from LMC the ones for 60-63 are the small ones and the ones for 64-66 are the big ones. Too bad my 65 had the small holes. But it was nothing a Step ream couldn't fix.

Re: Door Bumpers
x2 on LMC having the right ones, I think this is the ONLY thing they got right.

Re: Door Bumpers
I thought I had missing door bumpers but sounds like maybe not. I am in the middle of the Honda weatherstrip install and will wait until I finish and see how the doors close. My truck was made in Baltimore. I wonder if assembly plant determined if the truck had door bumpers?
Thanks for all the replies, Hugh |

Re: Door Bumpers
The "V" shaped guide in the door jamb below the latch takes care of the no bumper situation

Re: Door Bumpers
What's the easiest way to install the bumpers? I was thinking a mild soap and water solution or rubbing alcohol like when installing handlebar grips.

Re: Door Bumpers
Spray glass cleaner around the hole and on the rubber and twist it in

Re: Door Bumpers
Back in the day when putting tight handlebar grips on my old Indians after a rebuild, I read somewhere to use hairspray, I tried it and it worked great. It was the old aerosol type. I am sure this would work with this application as well.
