They are in really great shape, but I’m wondering about all of those extra holes that appeared in the running boards. These appear to be holes for bolting the running boards and rocker panels together, but there are no matching holes in the rocker panels. Does anyone know, could these be for some sort of gasket between the two?? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | I wondered the same thing...but I guessed that the holes were for Panel applications. Are the R/B's on a panel bolted up to the bottom of the rockers? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,048 | Ya got me ’46, I can’t remember ever seeing a live panel much less crawling under one | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 | I noticed your old post re: running boards, could you tell me wat type , size or anything about the rubber seal that appears to go between the lower sill and the body?

An anti-squeak pad made of something similar to tar paper was used where the board mates with both fenders.
On suburbans and panels, a gasket went the length of the running board along the mentioned holes. It was about an inch wide and maybe a sixteenth of an inch thick. It was held in place with tubular rivets. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 64 | Thanks for the info on the tar paper , I noticed that when I disassembled. The rubber seal I am raising question about is the one between the "sill" plate and the cab body. This is the one at the inside of the door opening at the body. I disassembled this when I was de-rusting, held in place with clutch heads. I may not be using the right term when I use "sill" but the piece fits inside of the "cab" dooorway at the bottom and is a finish trim piece which will be painted body color.
