Greaser Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 12/27/01 Posts: 37 Loc: Clayton, Ga.	When I put new wood in the cab the top part where the sun visor meets the top of the cab is made with a gap about 1/4 inch. What actual fills in the gap and seals the cab? _________________________ Greaser

I will do a little more searching and see if I can comeup with a picture of this panel for you. I know my 29 also has a small metal strip on the top edge of the windshield header that help close the gap also. _________________________ See the USA in a Vintage Chevrolet
