The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Window seal question

Hello there! New to the forum, and a proud new big bolt owner. 1951 6400 wheat truck bought at auction for 500 bucks. With a little bit of ciphering of chewed frayed wires I hotwired the coil, and she amazingly coughed and roared to life! I carefully drove the ol girl the few country miles home (with zero brakes). Now I'm in the process of bringing her back to a usable standard, so I'll probably be on here quite a bit. All that said I'll get down to brass tacks. The outer bottom window seal. How is it supposed to come out, and then the replacement go in? The old one is terribly brittle, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to slide forward out of the channel it's in or not? This is the first piece on the interior that hasn't come out pretty straight forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Kyle

A small screw driver, a hammer, patience, bandages, and a big cuss jar is all you need. You will need to chisel it out one tiny piece at a time. After you get the old one out, fold up a piece of 100 grit sandpaper and run it back and forth to clean out the track so the new one will slide into place (keep the cuss jar handy for this).

Alright, sounds good. I have all those things ready. Jar is full though. Had to get the bucket :)

When installing the new one, it helps to coat the channel with liquid dish soap to help it slide. You may have to even pry the channel opening slightly larger if it's too tight. I had to use a screwdriver and hammer to pound it in.

I agree with the bandages and cuss jar...
