Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Here is the passengers side barn door, thanks Perro13!
I got the rusty bottom patched and the whole door wire wheeled and painted. Bondo free!!!! I had to rebuild the latch I picked up off that 62 Suburban in Princton as well as modify the new lock/ push rod to match the length of the original. The latch push rod is shorter and I could not find and repos for the panel/ Suburbans out there. All works like a dream now. I Will be dropping the door off at a glass place this time.... Cracked the pane for the drivers side. Need some fresh rubber anyways. Hahaha. Luckily I got a spare pane from the new door. I have the highs all ready to go and some new hinge seals to go with them. I will be working down island next week so I will have some time in the evenings to get the door mounted, mess around with the drivers side door spacing and the door seals. Thanks for tuning in! |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Working down island this week so I got a chance to bring the barn door down with me. I got some "smoke" tinted glass cut for both doors and the seals were salvageable! With a little adjustment I got them working pretty good! Still need to fab up some rubber door stops for the passengers side.
I also have a set of the OEM rear seals coming. Just about got the rear end all wrapped up. |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Hey Nik,
Thanks for checking in hahaha. I got the passengers side fender all back together, not super happy with how it turned out, but it's on... Will have to address it later. Went to the junk yard in Port Hardy and picked up a bunch of window seals and started to fit them around the door glass. I got the passengers side seals all done up, I think I looks good and should keep the water and wind out a bit better then the felts. |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Good to hear the door rubber worked out well for you. I hear lots of complaints on the repop seals

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Do you have any more details on the window seals you used. Close up pictures? What they are out of?

I will have to get some better close up pics for you next time I'm down to work on the truck. As for the seals, I know some may not want to hear this.... Hahaha they are out of a 2009 Ford. The ripper seamed to fit the window glide profile and had fresh rubber and the inside was felted. I'm not to picky as long as it works. The bottoms are out of a 2000's Chevy van. They have all been modified to fit. It's not perfect, but it actually turned out pretty good hahaha |
