60-63 door wedges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The door wedges on my 63 are badly worn. Any one know of a supplier for them. All the used one I find have the same problem appears door pin bushings wear out and it takes the brunt. Seems they would be a common wear part but no one shows them in the catalogs I've seen - thanks

Well I am way late finding this , and you I say have replaced them or something by now , but you can swap them side to side , swap the drivers with the passenger side if the bottoms are well worn , I know this is a bandaid fix , and does not make them function 100% as they are supposed to , but it can help when parts are not around to replace them , and get you a good shutting door for FREE , that's my favorite word too FREE
