1951 Ford F5 running board gap

Good morning,

I have a friend that has a 1951 FordF5 and he has a large gap between the front fender and the running board. Is there supposed to be a large rubber gasket that goes between them? If so where can he get one. Also if any one has a picture of what is supposed it be in place that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

I don't have a picture handy, but there is no gasket between the running board and fender that takes up significant space.

Do you happen have a picture of the predicament?
