Vintage Cars: 1950 Dodge B2B Pickup rubber seal placement, radiator support, rubber seal


Question
We have bought every manual on the 1950 Dodge B2B pickup and have been unsuccessful on how to replace/position the seals on the front hood between the hood and the front fenders.  Seals were not there when we purchased the vehicle so we can't even use that as a reference point.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Answer
Usually these little bumpers go into slots or holes punched into the lip made where the outside of the fender makes an L move to go down and under the hood.

If you have the new repro seals in your hands, I would think you could look over the area and it would be pretty clear.  I don't think these just glued on.  Also, there are usually little round bumpers that fit over screws on the radiator support.  These can be adjusted with the screws to raise or lower the front of the hood to fit right.
