Door seals

[Rick1935]

1935 Ford pickup does anyone have pictures of the correct upper, lower, side door seals or gaskets and where to buy best quality so I can seal my doors on my 1935 pickup ? Pictures of the gaskets on the door would be perfect !

Don't think the p/u's had door seals. But as always I could/can be wrong.

I even would like to know what would be best aftermarket, tired of water coming in when washing

Here is my understanding.


There was a lower door seal that mounted under the upholstery panel. Apparently it was unique to the 1935-37 pickups. Drake reproduced it 30+years ago but not now. Most suppliers will substitute the 1932-34 car style (no roll on the bottom but easy to trim) or the 1935-36 car style (slightly larger but has the rolled bottom).


There were no door seals front/top/back per se, Ford used windlacing (looks like oversized fender welt) which is generally considered part of the upholstery. The windlacing and the cardboard headliner/cowl/and quarter upholstery panels were stacked and held on with a retainer strip (about 5/8" wide with a bead on each side) using binding head sheet metal screws.


Rick 1935, if you could change the title of the thread to something like "1935 Pickup door seals" you might get Lawson or someone else with more knowledge than me, or pictures I dont have.
