Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 122 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 122 | Just getting ready to attach fenders on my 59 Chevy 3100 and am trying to figure out where seals go. I purchased a set of seals from JC and have attached the seal from inner fender to cab but don't know exactly where seal from fender (near door)to cab is attached. Is this seal attached to cab or fender and is adhesive used?
I also assume that the one seal sits on top of fender, under inner fender. However holes don't line up. I'm sure this is just a mistake in the production. I don't know where else it would go.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,

Five years after disassembling my bolt, I needed that catalog to know what goes where.
That stuff you are wondering about are anti-squeak material. All I ever got was like heavy black paper and not to last too long as anti squeakers. I went to Home Depot and bought a piece of the material that roofers use with a propane torch to seal a roof. I traced the shape from the black paper. It is about 1/8 inch thick and is perfect for what I need. I doesn't seem to affect the sheet metal fit up front and will certainly do the trick. You might also look at asphalt shingles.
