Fender to Cab Seals

[pontiacvince]

I bought a set of fender to cab seals for my '71 Suburban, git I have no clue how they attach. Not sure if mine ever had them to begin with, but they were long gone after the fire. I need to know how to attach them please.

To begin you have to have the fenders off.

There is a metal plate that staples to the rubber and it screws to the body. If the plates aren't there your truck didn't have the seals.

Good info in this thread:

I think there is three pieces to the kit but it doesn't come with the metal plates. You have to use your old ones.

Accelo, I have a complete front clip waiting to go on.

I assumed you had the metal. Never assume.

I assume they only came on Cheyenne Suppers.
I wonder how well they work.
Here I go: I assume GM did the testing to prove it quieted the cab interior.

So is it just made of heavy rubber? Or neoprene?

May be worth a try while I have my front clip apart, just as an experiment.
