'37 truck door weather strip?
Not quite sure exactly how these mount, i have new lower weather strips, repops, from Drake, they appear to tuck in the corner of the rocker sill, but any mounting holes in the sheet metal disappeared sometime when I replaced the rocker sills several years ago .
Anybody have any photos of how these are supposed to mount?
Thanks,
Doug

Welcome to FTE, Doug. That's one beautiful truck you got there, I like the color combo. Can't say I have any hands on experience with '37s, but I'm sure somebody will be along shortly who will know.
What are you using for a drivetrain?

327 L79 I had laying around for some years, 200-4r, Ford 9" with Trac Loc,and four wheel disc brakes.
Still need to finish the interior and hook up the A/C compressor, but everything else is pretty much done.
Body is all stock and all steel, Interior is stock looking, but upgraded with cloth type surface.
It was basket case when i got it 20 years ago, cheap, and finally had the time and $$ to get it finished, starting a couple years ago. Most stuff was intuitive, but a few things like the weather strip are still being figured out, as I want it looking like a '37 Ford as much as possible, not an ad lib hotrod or ratrod.
Thanks,
Doug

Those were the cheapest wheels and tires I could find, as 1), i wasn't sure how they were going to clear the fenders, and 2) wheels often get messed up during the build, and in the body shop, which, they did.
I have some 16X7 smoothie type wheels and period Ford V8 logo hubcaps on the way from The Wheelsmith, gonna get those powder coated to match the red body color.

BTW, If i wasn't about up to here with spending money, a bit more $$ could have gotten real correct looking wheels.

The wheels are not original..... But I actually like the way they look on your truck.... I may go with something similar on my build.
