I need some advice on who to get my windshield,back glass and door seal from. I here there are some out there that are not real good to us.

 

I bought all of the rubber for my truck from LMC. Trying to save a couple bucks. Wind shield rubber and vent window seals and gas neck grommet fit very poorly, but I made them work. The rest was OK. I would shop elsewhere in the future. JMO

 

I got mine from LMC truck also but mine fit great. LMC has better prices that some other places...

 

got mine from LMC, too. the fit was good but the gas filler grommet is cracking already and it's only been on since last sept. not out in winter.

 

I have used Midfifty and Dennis Carpenter. I highly recommend the hollow core door seals that Midfifty carries (may be sold elsewhere as well but I bought mine from MF), they seal great and the doors are much easier to close.

 

I'll second the hollow core seals. I got mine from Mid-Fifties.

 

Mid Fifty / Dennis Capenter.

I had installed a new set of door seals from LMC a couple of years ago, but have always had trouble getting the doors to close. I recently removed the stock seals and installed some seals like these that I picked up at Home Depot.

These seals are very soft and shouldn't interfere with the door closing, however you probably want to stay away from pressure washers like those used at touch-free car washes. Probably not a good idea on these old trucks anyway; they weren't terribly air/water tight even when they were new.

Mid-fifty.... front windshield installed fine.
Doing back window this weekend.

 

I don't think MF has the hollow seals for a 51. I have them in my 55 and they are the shiznit.

 

Thanks, I bookmarked these. Looks like they will work great for a woodie too.

 

So, I haven't put seals on my doors yet... but "soon".
What type of glue/mastic, if any?

 

STeele rubber products are the best....

 

Classic Haulers is the sister company to Mid Fifty but specializing in the bonus built year trucks.

 

I use 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive (black). Make sure it is the "super" not the plain stuff. Incredible glue.....I use it for lots of other things to....
