Thread: 35 Chev P/U

Tweet

I haven't been on for a while, but I am still working on a 35 Chevy pick up and can not find the interior window trim for the truck. Does anyone know where I can find this trim? Does any upholsterers know what I can use if I can't find the proper trim?

What trim are you looking for; back window, door or windshield? Do you have any of it?

I have a 36 Chevy low cab, and most of the trim in it would be fairly easy to made.

I finally got the truck complete but it has a lot of wind noise. Does anyone out there have any good tips on install proper weather striping in the doors of a 35 Chevy. I have tried several universal strips but I still have a lot of wind noise inside at 60 mph. Someone must have had the same problem with 1935 cars & trucks.
Any ideas?

Most of the older bodies relied on interior wind lace to stop wind noise and the associated drafts. Not sure if that was still the case in '35 or not, but I'm thinking its right. From the old service manual http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com...bsm/index.html they had a rubber seal at the top to shed water, and wind lace (they call it wind hose) around the door on the inside to deal with noise and dust. It's not exact, but SoffSeal's E515 looks like it might work on top? http://www.soffseal.com/store/main.a...tail&item=E515
