I wanted to install the cab seals for a while but my tracks under the cab are trash. So I took some washers, bent them to take a bolt, cut them to size, and used them in the tracks to hold the seals. At some point I will get the tracks ch aged when I finally get her into paint and body. The zink bolts and washers. #6 3-4 bolts and 1/8 flat washers. Could have worked with 1” bolts. Used strong magnets for the corners I put the bolt in the washer and used a deep socket to impregnate the washer to keep the same thickness Start to finish. I crazed glued the bolts to the washers to make it easier to tighten them. Only made one to check my clearances and if they would go down the track. They fit perfectly Marked the hokes about every 6 inches or so Used a leather punch to make the hokes for the bolts Used the magnets on the corners Corners, I did add a second magnet Fits great Drivers side I had to take off the running board because of the fuel tank straps Finished product I think it looks great.

But your C-channel looks intact and good enough to use. But your rubber will never fall out .

I may have over thought / designed it. The tracks on the ends were so beaten up I used a few tools to get them open again. On end is starting to peal back and some spots were rotten away. I read where people use glue but I think mechanical connections are the best.
