fc101daz Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hi All, Quick question,on the WC series Dodges should there be some kind of wing piping between the front wings and the inner wings?Specifically on a WC58 where there is definately a piping on the rear wings although what is there now is not original,but have found fabric traces behind the front wings just not sure if it would have a full piping or just a strip of fabric as an interface.If so what material? Regards Daren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Daren It could have had a canvas covered twine edge piping. Have a look at http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk. they may have something suitable.

GoranWC51 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi Daren, I have a set of piping (repro) for the rear wings for your Command Car. Contact me at: goran_noren (at) yahoo (dot) com How about 10£ for it (plus shipping)? Rgds Goran Noren Lidingo Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 There's actually two ... The front two-thirds of the joint uses plastic insert, just like the rear wings. On the early half tons the rear 1/3rd was filled with a rubber insert, but when rubber got to be strategic (as during all 3/4 ton production) the rear 1/3rd of the joint was filled by an insert made of 3/4" manilla rope in a loop of OD canvas - basically a 5" strip of canvas, lay a bit of rope down the middle, fold it in half, and sew it up. Vintage Power Wagons have both types off the shelf, but for your 3/4 ton the rearmost 1/3rd is easy to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
