Sealing Wheel Housings

[Outlaw Way]

I need to replace the battered wheel housings in my 1981 C20 bed. My question is on how to seal the seams like factory. The original sealer is a lot tougher than any OEM seam sealer I've used. Has anyone found a product that's like the original?

Urethane based sealer? Sealer needs to stay a bit flexible

Thanks, yevgenievich. I'll started googling for one that'll work on metal.

I don't have any experience with them, but Eastwood sells them too.

Thank you Snoots and Craig 85. It looks like the 3M Fast and Firm might be like the factory sealer. I'm in!

I'm curious to see pics of this truck. I've always thought C20's have the best OEM stance of all the squares, and with that Stepside Longbed I'm betting it's cool looking.

HotRod PC, I need to find a new image hosting site to get a photo and avatar up. I stopped using Photobucket when they dropped the free hosting.

We have plenty of space here. you can host your pics for here on GMSB server. We actually prefer that you do so like when Photofukit decided to rip everyone off, we had lots of dead images. Had they been hosted here, we wouldn't have lost them. Just use the Upload A File button and you can upload up to 5 images per post. Not sure what our image limit is, but it's big. I doubt you'll run out of room.
