New old product! Hood to cowl seals!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-28-2020, 09:13 PM

You guys have been complaining for years about the hood to cowl seals that have been available on the market until now! I listened, I sought out a couple "New Old Stock" hood to cowl seals and started working with one of my vendor to make a better part. Well after much back and forth I got my vendor to make a completely new part! I just received a few and they are GREAT!! See for yourself! They are almost perfect! Exactly like the originals, but slightly thicker! Give us a call!

Looks good!

Looks great Wes! Have you put a price on them yet?

**69Tom** · 04-28-2020, 11:51 PM

Nice!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-29-2020, 12:39 AM

Yes, we are keeping to our old pricing. $9.95 and remember they come with my lifetime warranty.

**Richard** · 04-29-2020, 12:46 AM

I had heard that the Precision brand seals fit well and do not push the hood up. That is what I have in my stash. Do they not fit well?

**special-K** · 04-29-2020, 07:18 AM

Thanks again, Wes. When I start stocking I'll come knocking.

That's stocking parts for the finishing end of my project

67C10Step · 04-29-2020, 08:09 AM

Dang it! I just got one of these! Keep you in mind for sure!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-29-2020, 09:05 AM

Precision brand were definitely the best ones out there. I have used them and they worked well. They were difficult to get to lay down though. They were also soft enough that they don't hold the hood up in the back. It's really a matter of how you want it to look once the hood is open. By the way it's precision that I worked with to make this better part. I just wasn't super happy with what they had and I am always working in the background to get parts improved. WES

As always... thanks again Wes!

Now this is cool. Precision is getting a deal here, they've got an experienced product developer on hand who knows these trucks inside out. Keep up the good work!

Maybe they should add you to their payroll?

OldBlue70C10 · 04-29-2020, 10:17 AM

Looks Good! I'll be in touch when I am close to that point

NorCalC20LWB · 04-29-2020, 10:48 AM

Great timing, will order one today.

**1971Stepside** · 04-29-2020, 10:55 AM

Wes! I'll take one.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-29-2020, 11:20 AM

I am going to work on getting packaging that will allow me to ship these first class mail for the people who are just ordering the seal. That way the shipping won't be that high.

**lolife99** · 04-29-2020, 11:27 AM

Very nice, like always.

**1971Stepside** · 04-29-2020, 12:42 PM

Let me know when you have it ready and I will purchase one. Thanks,

Davidf · 04-29-2020, 01:19 PM

I'm on board, let me know when ready to order and how.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-29-2020, 08:23 PM
