Hi Keith, Thanks for responding to my PM. Here are the PICS for the question I asked. Thanks Again, John

what is that called? Fender seal? Where can they be purchased?

I have never found those aftermarket , had to find good used. I believe it would be called a fender cab seal. Nice truck.

We used to call them "elephant ears".

It does just curl under at the bottom; I think it used a bit of adhesive to hold it until the fender is installed, although there is a hole in the seal which looks like it might receive a Christmas tree type push pin.

So what do these accomplish? Less wind noise?

Thanks Keith, I'll stick um till the fender goes on.

Matt Man: I was told that it keeps the wind and the dust from getting inside your cab. We'll see if that is true.

BamaDave: I heard that the cab to fender was it, but fender to cab sounds better. They were hard to find but are out their, I got mine from a place called "Collis Truck Parts " in PA.

Thanks Everyone, John

When I removed mine, they had never been removed. They just had some type of self-tapper in them.
