It appears that there was something between the two before,similar to a gasket. If so, what is it called? What is welting? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | I'm not sure which year you are referencing, however there is fender welting on the '60-'66 Chevy truck rear fenders. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 40 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 40 | actually...there's both gaskets and welting. I used the welting on mine with no gasket. Figger the welting will do about the same job and looks good. Be sure to notch the welting at the bolts or they'll never go down to the edge of the fender. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | The 47-55 Factory Assembly Manual does not show any "anti-squeak" (welting or gasket) on pickup rear fenders (it was used on all front fenders). There is, however, fender welting used as anti-squeak on rear panel-body fenders (Panel Truck, Carryall Suburban, an Canopy Express). Nonetheless, as Jim Carter states, rear fender welt is non-original a "popular extra". Tim | | |
