" IF ANYONE HAS ANY PLEASE PM (PRIVATE MESSAGE) ME "

79sierra · 10-08-2015, 12:19 PM

You won't! Unless you find used ones that are better than yours. I looked for three years (on and off) until it was time to paint then I moved on without them.

tucsonjwt · 10-08-2015, 02:12 PM

Junkyards will have them. Southwest junkyards will have them rust free.

83GMCK2500 · 10-08-2015, 04:23 PM

If I remember correctly, those are a Silverado/Sierra Classic only item, part of the increased noise dampening standard on the higher trim levels, same package as hood insulation. Just an fyi if you go looking at a junkyard.

Big Blue · 10-08-2015, 05:03 PM

Thanks Everyone. The cab in the picture is not mine. As you can see in my signature I am doing a ground up project. Since I have everything apart I thought in would be good the add then to my build. I found a set in a junk yard but did not have time to remove them, now no one can go out into the yard,they pull it. So if any one has a set,send me a message.

John, these are yours if you want them but I am out of town until Wednesday. I will touch base with you then

Big Blue · 10-16-2015, 02:27 PM

Thanks, when you get back give me the details. Have a safe trip.

John

HipToBeSquared · 10-18-2015, 06:11 PM

The 78 Silverado I used to own had those on them. I was always worried they would be just a breeding ground for rust. Did they do any good and did they rot cabs?

Big Blue · 10-18-2015, 09:02 PM

I understand that this item was hard to find. So I do not think that many people had them. From the ones that I did see, I did not see any rust build up. I had a pair way back when, when I junked the truck I did not take them. Thanks for responding. John

**1774btcrew** · 10-18-2015, 11:23 PM

The pair I have came off a rusty suburban from Michigan there were no rust issues from where these were mounted

Big Blue · 10-26-2015, 05:41 PM

177BTCREW, I am still interested in the seal. I PM you. Give me a shout back so We can get things rolling. Thanks Again, John

**1774btcrew** · 10-26-2015, 09:55 PM

Just PM me with your email address again if you haven't already done so and we will go from there

Chevy1966 · 10-26-2015, 10:00 PM

I've been looking for a nice set of these "gaskets", or whatever you call them, for a long time. Very hard to find I guess. However they are a closed-cell foam so they are not going to retain a lot of moisture. They will collect lot's of dirt and other garbage. I really wonder what happened to all of the original tooling for some of these special parts? --Rob

**1774btcrew** · 10-26-2015, 11:30 PM

I actually had 2 sets of these at one point but don't know where the second set went.

motornut · 10-27-2015, 10:02 AM

My 87 burb rusted out in those spots,all kinds of crud behind those seals

Big Blue · 10-28-2015, 03:37 PM

1774btcrew, sent you a pm
