Thanks for that.

Duh. It glues on. no wonder I couldnt find any holes or clips in the catalogs.

I have the stuff, I can do that.

I tried the search feature, it didnt work for me. I will try it again, thanks.

The '54 truck door weatherstrips are totaly different from Art Deco trucks. There should be some metal molding holding the weatherstrip in place. Like these on my '45:

They do not glue in. The trim pieces around the door hold it in place. If you buy repros (I bought the rubber ones) you will just poke holes in it to make it easier for the screws to pop through as you are trying to put the trim back on.

OK I see the holes and understand the system now. I dont have those trim pieces.

I have the rubber. Did you mean the metal trim is available in a repop?

Thanks you guys are a ton of help, as allways.

I meant that the seals are available as repros in rubber or vinyl. You can put a post in the parts wanted section or check ebay for the trim pieces. These trim pieces go all around the inside of the door.

Hey zipper, I looked at the pics of your truck, good job. It will look off the chart when finished like the last pic in satin black.

I am going for much the same look.
