Cab Skirts install

I have my cab skirts on. I have done some searching but can't find a clear answer. How do they mount to curve under the cab corner?

I was just going to get some weatherstripping adhesive but there must have been a proper way.

I used sheet metal screws around the bend to hold the rubber in place.

I think this thread from 2018 will answer your question.

I used magnets with holes in them on the corners, bolted them to the skirts and attached them, worked great. I attached them to the tracks by modified washers and bolts, but my tracks are to far gone for normal installation.

53-55 did not have track for the corners, it was only on the straight portion of the cab. Several members over the years have made brackets, used 56 rubbers and corner track and screwed or pop riveted the rubber directly to the cab. Mid-fifty had mention of it in their catalog.
