The Ford Barn

Were there door gaskets around the doors on the 34 pickup? I'm thinking the large soft rubber type that would prevent water from blowing into the crack between the door and body. Also, was there a headliner in the cab?

There was no headliner or any other upholstery in the cab other than the seat upholstery and pressed cardboard cowl trim panels. Windlacing was used on the hinge and lock pillars and rubber weatherstrips were used along the top of the door opening and along the bottom of the door providing modest sealing of the doors when closed.

David is correct/expert. I followed his book on '32 Ford (V8 club)as well the 1934 book (V8 club).

Those early trucks were not wind tight. Tough guys drove them. Newc

Bare bones interiors, that's for sure.
