cab seal question

[danman987123]

Is there a weatherstripping that goes around the door frame and seals when it hits the cab as well as one that is on the cab. I know of the one that goes along door frame but what about the little lip on the cab? if you notice on this truck built by fesler http://www.feslerbuilt.com/1968Chevytruckpur.htm it has rubber on the cab lip....and none on the door.......but if you go to brotherstrucks, ecklers, or earlyclassic, they all sell you door to cab seals which mount on door? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE.....I CAN GO ORDER FROM THEM AND LOCALLY I CAN BUY THE RUBBER FOR THE LIP AROUND THE CAB....BUT WHICH IS THE PROPER WAY??

No weatherstripping hooks to the door. This one is easy, go to your local junk yard and get a set of door seals from a '96ish full size Chevy truck. They also, like ours, have the pinch welt on the cab, not the door. Unlike the 67-72 seals which have to be glued on, these have a pinch seal and work perfectly. They look great. They are a shade too long so they need to be cut to length. Cost me like 10 bucks for both seals.

looks great ok. thanks. just confused because this says that it goes onto door..... http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=DFS6772 thanks appreciate the info though....now i know what to get.

it doesn't say it mounts on the door, it doesn't say anything about how it mounts, it's just saying the job of the weatherstripping, to seal between the door and cab, to keep water out. it could be more specific

LOL, well I would be concerned that they are showing a pic of a cab that is def NOT a 67-72 Chevy truck. Like i said, save time and money, hit the junk yard.

The seal in that photo is correct and the truck is a 67/72. You made me go out and look at my 71 to be sure. That seal looks a lot better than mine though.

Don, do you have any problems with the seals staying on the cab? Did you use any glue at all? I bought the seals to redo mine, but haven't yet because I dread doing the waiting process of letting everything dry. That looks good on there.

he meant when you go to brothers website listed above, the cab in their diagram is a 60-66 i think not a 67-72

I couldn't find any decent push type at the junkyard so I bought them from GMCPauls -local vendor.
