So I have been having to slam my doors of late to get them to shut completley, despite lots of striker adjustment. I bought a set of hollow strips from MF to replace the solid repros from DC. Awesome. It's been a good spring/summer thus far, hood flip kit, new running boards,cool power antenna, new Summit CD ignition system, and I expect my new cover from MF Tursday. The one with a convenient zippered drivers door.

 

So Jim at risk of repeating yourself because I’m too slow to understand, the hollow seals are the cat's meow, tells us lowly serfs more details?

……..and does the truck cover have the door zipper so that you can get in and drive it with the cover on?

 

so, they finally have the hollow gaskets for 53-55.. may look into that myself..

| ordered a set tue night..

Old f1- the seals are exact of originals, but soft, pliable, and hollow. Very/easy to work with and crushable, being hollow. The zippered door allows access to the interior w/o removing the cover. MF has some great new covers @ a lower price.

 

What is MF? I'm assuming DC is the "woodworking" guy?

Almost forgot; new front and rear stainless bumpers!

 

Does anybody produce the hollow door weather strips for F1? If so where can they be purchased.

 

I don’t know, but Midfifty (53-56) has it and they have a division called Classic Haulers that sells 48-52 stuff, so you would think?

 

Thanks. I will check with Classic Haulers tommorow.

 

Let us know if they have them. I am also interested.

 

mine arrived on Saturday.. hope to get them in over the next few weeks.. (this travel for work stuff sure ruins a good night inthe shop!)
