rear door check strap
I'm upgrading my 1930 deluxe delivery to show at the Northwest regional meet in September. Should the rear door check strap be black or brown?

Re: rear door check strap
Hi Glenn,
Very important at a Regional meet -- not an "I think" answer -- sounds like this may qualify for a Mr. Marco response. |

Re: rear door check strap
It's a late 30. It does have footman loops. I'll make it brown with flexible spray paint, made for vinyl upholstery.

Re: rear door check strap
Glenn, you might check Bob Drake's website. He had some chocolate door check straps available, also used on various V-8 models.

Re: rear door check strap
These pictures are from a Sep 27,1930 Delx Del Original parts when recently restored, if you notice the panel in the corner where the bracket attaches there is a relief for the bracket. Now I have original parts on my Aug 1930 Delx del that Does Not have the relief so I have to assume that mine does not have the strap being an early production? Do we all agree????The last pic is from my 1930 of Aug DD with No relief for strap????

Re: rear door check strap
In the last picture, what material is it made out of. Looks like leather.

Re: rear door check strap
1 1/4" width leather should be 8.5 in. in length black, almost looks like a good leather belt. Glenn do you have that relief in the corner panel as in the first pictures?

Re: rear door check strap
Gary....I have a 30 and a 31 delivery and the 30 does not have a place to put the footman loops but the 31 does. The 30 is a March truck and the 31 is Dec 31. both have the rubber bumper at the bottom of the door and a rubber bumper at the top where the indent is. I also used H rubber on the bottom of the door to seal it like the fronts. good luck

Yes my late 30 has the relief in the corner like 31s do.
