Does anyone know what material was used along the rear edge of the inner fender to seal the fender to the cab? My inner fenders have staples thru them from some flexible edging long since rotted away. I suppose I'll screw it on with a strip because my ex brother-in-law borrowed my fender stapler and never returned it. grin


They named it Apache cause it has a patchy welded here and a patchy welded there.

rubber - the staples are needed if yer gonna fake the piece on the bottom against the frame [not available repro], but there's correct repro rubber pieces available for the back edge that have a slot that fits snuggly on the inner and is 'captured' against the cab, no fastening required - originally stapled so it stayed with the panel on the line until installation

I'm not familliar with the particular welting you need but there are several vendors that sell welting of various diameters. Chevs of the 40s, I&I Reproductions & Hampton Coach are just a few. Some sell rolls of differing lengths and I think Chevs sells it by the inch.

Tiny, a TF truck doesn't use any "welting" they actually used a 'sealer' on the rear fenders where earlier years used welting, and special rubber seals on all the front fender points
