I did a search and did not find much info or pictures. I am trying to assemble my doors on my 50 1/2 ton.
First question is do I remove the window to install the channel?
My old channel had metal strips to hold the channel in place. How is the new one held in place? Do I have to add my own screw holes?
The order of installation should be, outer window trim, channel, rubber wiper, felt wiper and then the inner trim?
Does anyone have a good website that has a step by step of door assembly?
thanks,

If not, original ones can be purchased on eBay and maybe from manual venders; and, reproduction manuals can be purchased from many of the b=vendors listed in the Tech Tips; and, a 1948-1951 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual is on-line. If that does not help, keep asking questions. Good luck, | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 | OK All,

Answer: Yes.

Answer: I use small, short self-tapping Phillips head screws, after I finish shaping the channel by rolling the window up.

Answer: Your order of assembly is correct. The felt wiper is to be attached to the inner trim prior to installing the inner trim to the door.
