Door Rubber

[horvath]

I bought new door rubber for my '54 and after waiting over a month, I still couldn't close my doors properly. A VERY experienced pro told me to order rubber for a '51 and install that ... I did, and BINGO! My doors are lined up perfectly, they seal perfectly, and I can close them without going insane, slamming them shut.

I don't get it -- since the cabs are the same, WHY do you sell different door rubber for a '54 as compared to the door rubber for a '51???

Alan..This is a job that I have to do..reseal doors. This seems like to be a problem judging from pasts posts on this forum. You mentioned getting new door rubber to fit a 1951 truck. The parts books that I have all show a range of years that this rubber fits. My truck is a 1955 first series, same as a 54 {glue on}. Chevy duty shows 47 to 1954 with all the same part number. Where did you order 1951 door rubber?

My "expert" ordered and installed it for me, and rehung my doors -- I had some damaged hinges that he fixed up ... I'm guessing he ordered the 51 rubber from Chevy's of the 40s

I ordered the "54 door rubber" way back in January, when I first got my truck ... and before I knew about Chevy Duty.

Seems to me, after 8 months of learning about the different parts suppliers, Chevy Duty *always* does it right!
