I have found that there is alot of rubber gaskets between the fenders, and other metal parts that mount to the cab, are these factory gaskets or some kind of caulk?? they are not very stout, and fall apart very easily. If it's caulk what kind is it that you use to cushion between the metal parts?? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | any of the vendors have the sets of seals for those areas - the only thing you won't find is the piece that's stapled along the bottom of the inner fender to close the gap to the frame .... yours fell apart cuz they're 60 year old rubber  Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | GM called them anti squeak. You should get a Factory Assembly Manual; these items are detailed there.
