    Truck added as No: 361 Link

     

    You don't happen to have any other photos of it do you ? (Could do with the Reg Number)

    CCKW - Cowl Ventilator Seal

    Still haven't heard back as to when new stock is due in... Will update next when I have more info.

     

    Richard, as for the reason for the seal when there is a drain, poses a good question :). In heavy rain mine leaks from somewhere in that area. Thus far other things have attracted my attention, but its something I'm intent to get the bottom of, other than for no reason that the water drops right onto the laces on the foot that's on the accelerator :nut: so I end up with a shoe full of water ! LOL

     

    Kind regards to all

    So you know what the next step is :shocked: What you need to do is get contact details of the vehicles for their current owners and try to sort out a GMC gathering in a central area convenient for all.

     

    It's a great idea in theory:cool2:, but with fuel prices the way they are:shocked:, I wonder how feasible the idea is in practice.... :-(

    Hi Scott

     

    Yes I have it recorded as No: 218 Registration: UNN788X Link Thanks for posting anyway though, your photo is better that the main one I have :). Would you mind if I used it ?

     

    Interesting front arrangement on this truck, with the double can holders, off-set width sticks, double tow eyes and box over the winch.

     

    Kind regards

    The goods news is that I've heard back today from a gentleman called John at Old Chevy Trucks. The bad news is they are currently out of stock of the rubber seal, although some are expected in. I am going back to ask when. They have the cheaper foam seal in stock. Myself I'm not interested that type though.

    Gentlemen

     

    I'm sending a E-Mail message to Jim Carter tonight, to a:

    a) Check how many seals he has in stock.

    b) Get an estimate of the postage cost for 5 and then 10 seals.

    c) Check out what the difference (if anything) is in the fitting between the rubber seal and the foam one.

     

    Happy to put in a 'bulk order' :) NOS and 25 pounder I've got you pencilled in for 2 each. If anyone else is interested put a posting here. I know a few people with GMCs not on the forum, so I'm going to contact them over the next couple of days to see if their interested.

     

    When I have all the costing details I'll post my findings on here, and then PM those concerned and firm things up.

     

    Kind regards to all

    CCKW - Cowl Ventilator Seal

    Gentlemen

     

    Now I'm on the verge of sorting my Windscreen seal out, time to move onto the next issue/challenge. The seal in my Cowl Ventilator on my CCKW has degraded to such an extent I cannot make out what is was or how it fastened in place. Can anyone provide any guidance/pictures and any suggestions on who can supply a suitable replacement ?

     

    Your thoughts would be appreciated.

     

    Kind regards to all

    CCKW Windscreen Seal Needs Replacing - Advice Sought

    I short update. Tried a total of 6 suppliers (including Cliff Harris) and failed to get anywhere. Ended up with a company called Dugdale's. They have a range of products under the title of 'Rubber Extrusions' Link. After chatting with the very helpful owner on Friday I settled on a product 'R40 Windscreen Section' and ordered a 9ft length which arrived on Saturday. It's not quite as long as the one I've taken off, or as thick, but it fits just fine, and should keep the weather out.:):yay: I'll upload a photo at the weekend after I've finished the job (ran out of time today).:whentitsdone:

     

    In the meantime here is a recent shot of the truck in front of Cliffords Tower here in York that I'm quite pleased with. I've entitled it, 'The Historic and The Ancient :)
