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.

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 https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33424-r-model-door-question/#findComment-215892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
