  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

lookin' - 65 special tail lamp seals

Discussion in 'Parts wanted' started by DEADMANSCURVE, Aug 4, 2017.

  1. DEADMANSCURVE

    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    part numbers on old seals are : #5956742 ( right ) , #5956741 ( left )
    probably about 10" x 4" rectangular shape approx .
    mine are in one piece and ok , sorta . but look like they may not keep moisture out too well .
    may have to add some thin foam around perimeter if i can't find anything .
    any suggestions appreciated . thanks .

    Not sure if those are readily available like the skylarks. If not,you can take a roll of 3/8 butyl tape and make yourself a set of gaskets. It is the old ribbon seal used for windshields.

    White strip caulk would work too from a hardware store. Never seen the actual seals / gaskets ever being sold in the last 10+ years.

    actually had some gray strip caulk that I used to add to extra to the seal area . kinda squished out with pressure and looked like crap and stuck to paint in a not so good way .

    The Parts Place has 65 Skylark seals. I have a set for reference. You could cut the down and cut a vertical piece to box it. Likely that would work for you. Use weatherstrip adhesive to attach to the light.
