VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - GENERAL Body - Sheet Metal, Paint & Wood 1940 Chevy PU 1/2 ton steering column seal

I’m looking for a picture or a description of the toe board seal that goes around the steering column and clutch and brake peddles and how it is held in place of on my 1940 Chevy PU 1/2 Ton

Thanks,

Mike

Reach out to Mr. Bob Adler

Bob was very helpful in explaining about the seal but had no pictures or parts. So I'm still looking for a picture or the parts that are used in securing the felt around the steering column and brake and clutch pedals.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm working on this now on my '45 pickup. Don't let the cutout confuse you, I need to patch that yet. The pix are self explanitory.

Interesting.... I had noticed that the plates in the '40's had rivits in them but mine didn't have any indication that there were any.... And no backing plate. I found that it was almost impossible to hold the felt in without one. So I fabricated a backing plate and sandwiched the felt in-between fastening it together with a single carriage bolt made to look like a rivit.

I don't believe it is correct because my current plates showed no sign of rivets or a backing plate. maybe because I had the wronge steering column plates to begin with.....
