I have a 59 1-ton and i took the front fenders, headlite mounts, grill, etc apart to sandblast and repaint. 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??

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 grin

GM called them anti squeak. You should get a Factory Assembly Manual; these items are detailed there.
