What type of web is used between the wood sills and frame for a 1932 roadster. I see the filling station has a product that comes in different widths. Is this material correct and what width would you use?
Thanks for the help.

Fabric pads similar to thick canvas was used. They are mainly to keep the wood/metal interface from squeeeeeeaking.

I have the pads that you talk about but did they also run material the entire length of the frame and wood interface or only the pads.
Thanks for your help

Despite what part sellers would want you to believe, only the pads were used.

On my 1930 coupe, the factory webbing material ran almost the entire length of the frame, from the front fenders all the way back to the edge of the gas tank apron.

None of the several 1931 or 1932 Chevrolets that I have owned had a long piece of webbing between the metal parts (that includes the running board splash aprons). Some places a thick black paper (I use 30# felt) or rubber pads were installed as anti-squeak.

when i replaced the wood floor broads on my 30 coach. i ran it all the way back the lenght of the frame.
i used fire hose webbing that was woven on one side and rubbized on the other and just cut to size.

I do not see any indication of a web that ran the length of the frame and wood interface on either of the frames that I have. I can see where the pads were as they left a rust mark and pitting on the frame surface. I saw the webbing at the filling station and thought I might be missing something. I know the roadsters were made by Chevrolet and the coupes by fisher body, maybe that is why some on the cars had a webbing running down the frames.

My all original 1932 Special Sedan has the pads as Chipper describes, but my 1930 coupe did have factory webbing full length on the frame.

I think I am just going to put the pads and forget the webbing.
Thanks Guy's

My 30 coupe made in St. Louis has the web as JunkYardDog described. Sounds like most of the 30's had it and the 31,32's may not have.

Does anyone make the origional cloth webbing? Looks like the catalogs I have are selling rubber instead of the origional canvas.

Are there three pads per main sill or do the pads also go beteen the bolt plate and sill?

Is there a pad in the rear under the sill kickup?

I purchased the original type of woven webbing from the Filling Station in Lebanon, Oregon.
