41chevy Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I picked up fender welting from Restoration Specialties. http://stores.restorationspecialties.com/fender-welt/ Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52502-b-model-fender-mounting-rubber-strip/#findComment-391920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yup, Restoration Specialities. Part number MTF194 sold by the foot. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 the back rubber is the one in the picture above with the flange. the stuff between the fenders and radiator shell and the fenders and headlight panel is beaded vinyl. the older B's with the bolted together radiator shell and headlight panels didn't have anything between them just thick hollow core rubber between the fenders and headlight panels 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52502-b-model-fender-mounting-rubber-strip/#findComment-394296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think Maddog is correct on this . Working on my fenders now what I purchased from Restoration Specialties MTF194 is not what came off between the headlight panel and fender . Something closer to the # 193. 5/16" x 1" ribbed International Truck Fenderwelt was stapled to head light panel using large steel staples.

Mike Stormo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I used contact cement and left out the staples. Worked out great Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52502-b-model-fender-mounting-rubber-strip/#findComment-394607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I used the #193 on my headlight panels. Not quite right but it is OK with me. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
