When I took the front fenders off the truck I found what seemed to be an asphalt strip between the outer and inner fender. I'm assuming it was there to prevent nooise and maybe as a seal. Since I can't seem to find a replacement part I was wondering what everyone else used. I thought maybe fender welt or something similar?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Asphalt seal on front fender
Thanks Robroy, that's exactly the information I was looking for. I'm not at this step yet but hopefully next month I will be.
Sargentrs, I owe you a thank you too. I'm using the same cab insulation you did, never would have found that company without reading about it in your build thread.

Re: Asphalt seal on front fender
I'm sure glad this subject was discussed. It hasn't cross my mind to have some type of sealant between the inner/outer fenders. I don't recall seeing any when separated the two, but i can see how it will help with water issues. Now the sealant is something i have to look into. Thanks for the info on this subject guys. I've been schooled!
