Looked it up in the Factory Assembly manual and see there is supposed to be a "fender skirt to body seal on each side. Has anyone replaced these ? If yes, where did you buy them?

The driver's side has a fender-skirt bracket that interfaces the cowl to the fender. It has 3 captive nuts in it, and also has 3 clearance holes that bolt to the floorboard of the cab where the cab slants down to the transmission. Jim Carter has a repo part, MEB114, although they call it: "Park Brake Floor Bracket 1948-Early 1955 1/2 and 3/4 Ton". My passenger side analogous bracket is missing - (and know I know why my fender rattled so much!)
Anybody know where to get this part, being on the passenger side, they must have seen lost of rust but i don't see anyone who makes them -
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the information! It would be great to see that post you spoke of and I wonder if he used the staples to attach the seals as its shown in the assembly manual ? By the way, the sheet metal plates still have the holes from where the staples used to be ! This truck is the largest and most fun jig-saw puzzle I've ever had. Thanks again!
