1950 Fleetline door seals

[50help]

Hi Ya'll,
I'm helping an old friend with his Fleetline,he's got a pile of door seals
from Steele,but has no clue where they go..Steele cant help either.Does
anyone have a drawing or pictures of the proper placement of the
door seals?Its a 4 door... THANKS!!!

They should go around the edge of the door right on the lip just inside as you open the door.

Hi Ron,
I wish it were that easy!I have at least 4 different styles of extruded
seal for the doors,seems they are pieced together in some way to form
a "perfect seal" as one retired mechanic termed it.I also have a trunk
seal'kit' that has (2)90 degree bends and 2 styles of seal.I'm pretty
good at figuring out stuff,but I cant seem to even get started here.
A parts diagram or some photos would really help..
Thanks! John

All my shop manual for 49 to 54 shows is a piture of one door and it's not about the weather strip. Have you tried calling someone like Chevs of the 40's? They may have something to help in your quest.
