vision386 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Got a call today from a friend of mine in Jersey who runs a body and paint shop,he is not real familiar with trucks. He had a Mack related question and said "I knew just the right guy to call" unfortunately I did not have the answer,but told him i'd sure ask and find out on here. He is re-doing a set of older R-Model doors for a customer,and wondered if there is a gasket that goes behind the half door-dogs? I honestly didn't know for sure,but figured someone here would!...........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

David Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 When I removed the dogs from my '67 DM800 there were no gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 No gaskets for the dogs,Mark. The only thing I think I've ever seen between the door & the dogs,was a maple leaf (Canadian production). 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

They're all works of art but the '69 SS 396 is a masterpiece. Maybe I'm partial to that one because that will always be my favorite year for Camaros and Firebirds. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
