Title: PLEASE HELP
Post by: jdog on January 14, 2010, 12:37:17 pm
Hello all, i am in the process of rebuilding my 76LWB and haven't been able to find new or GOOD used fender to cab seals. I think that is what they are called. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info 80stepside. I was able to save my DS one, but would like some in better shape. Iguess i will be on the junkyard mission now.

I believe GM called it an escutcheon. Find a dealer who can look it up. you might find them on a parts locate

Not sure if it was you, but someone emailed me about these and as I told them, they are not reproduced.

Just curious, where are these located?  I don't remember any seals on the fender when I took mine off?  My truck's an '83 if that matters.  Is it next to the door hinges?

We had this discussion before and the thread got lost. We really should try to find out what the dilly is with these things. http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=11947.0
