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

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

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.....
