Hey list, I've heard some of you guys say that you are using S10 door seals on you 67-72 trucks. How good do they work and what year S10 seals are you using. Thanks you time and help is apprciated.

They work great and can be had at most junkyards dirt cheap if you are on a tight budget!. Look for Blazers in the late 80's to early 90's.

Hey 70C10, are these the snap on fit or do they have to be glued?

love mine, wouldnt go stock for anything. still nice and tight, small hard pull to close.

They are push on. I bought a brand new set and my doors WOULD NOT close. The new seals are too stiff. I still want to use them, but I'll be hitting junkyards soon for a "soft" set of used ones. My truck doors have already been aligned, but if they hadn't I would have loosened up the door hinges so the doors would close until the seals softened.

are the door openings the same size? I would have thought the s10 doors were smaller, thus leaving a portion of the 67-72 opening with out a seal. or is there a small patch portion?

mine fit PERFECT, now i bought new so a used set may be a bit shorter.

I have got the drivers side on and I had to adjust the door out a little. But it made a huge difference.

crazy longhorn · 12-15-2006, 03:10 PM

Well, I picked up a really decent set of use seals & installed them in my chop top 69.....had to cut about 4" out @ the bottom center as they were a tad too long! The doors did shut VERY stiff, but I think they will settle in over the winters rest(hopefully). If not, the doors may need to be readjusted. The best part was the seals look almost new, & were only 5 clams for the pair

This was not my idea.....but it worked out very slick! The s 10 seals that I put on made my doors very tight (slam to shut). In one of the earlier threads on s 10 seals, one of the other guys suggested tapping in the pinchweld on the cab for clearance.....my doors now shut firmly, but not bad at all. I figure that the winters rest will seat them in the rest of the way. The seals I got were boneyard pcs, but they look new, so I beleive they were replaced at one time. They will come up a tad short for the used pcs in a stock height truck, but they worked out great for my chop top truck....& no more seals slidin off !
