I know the felted corrugated channels get fixed in with dealer and screws but where do the small felted strip and the big rubber strip go? Many thanks Mr negus beep beep beep truck update

This from a fellow Bolter may be helpful: http://www.alanhorvath.com/54chevy/windowfelts.php The rubber strip fits into a channel in the outer part of the door. Description does leave something to be desired. No vent window in your truck so some things are a bit different. But most will apply. Thanks to Allen for the tips. Steve H

I'm needing these strips for mine,I just wondered if you got them from the States or here in Blighty. 1950 Chevy Advance Design 3100 in Scotland In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Flickr.

I've got the felts etc,i'm just missing the lower 'scraper' rubber just inside the doors. Actually since typing my question my priorities have changed slightly Jake. I stuffed the truck into the barrier on a dual carriageway on Christmas eve! Draughty doors are the least of my worries right now! But thanks anyway. 1950 Chevy Advance Design 3100 in Scotland In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Flickr.

Bet you was cheery on Christmas day ha Haha,I wasn't exactly the life and soul of the party that's for sure. I haven't fully assessed the damage but the worst of the impact seems confined to the right front corner,the door gap on the cab is OK etc. The back fender is dinged too but a good hammer and dolly man will whip that into shape no problem. Something's moved/bent on the front suspension too... I'm currently too sore to go into the garage and look but i'm pretty sure it's repairable..... There's a thread on the Greasy Spoon showing the damage. Look for the thread heading. "Ouch".
