I replied to your duplicate post.

Hi William,  I think you're referring to the metal trim strips that hold the door gasket in place.  It goes from the "B" pillar up around the door and ends near the top of the "A" pillar.   I'll email you pictures as I can not post pictures on this computer.   The strips should be painted wrinkle brown.          Lou      

Here is the driver side door and trim in my 1936 GMC

Looks like they used the same style door opening trim right up to the end of 1946.

A look at a parts manual would tell whether they were the same part numbers or not.

The trim on the door itself however is different.

PS

Nope, not exactly the same, different screw locations and parting line.  🙂

@ole-olson thanks.

I dug out my truck specific parts manuals.

The 1937 and '38 door opening trim pieces were the same part numbers.

1939 to '46 were the same but a different part than '37 and '38.

My books only go back to 1937, and it may be that the late 1936 low cab used the same parts as the 1937 and '38.

Maybe someone else could verify this?

Hope that makes the parts search easier.

PS

Actually Patrick's above picture appears to be the later low style 1936 cab, and suggests that everything from mid 1936 through the end of 1938 would be the same parts.

My truck is the 1936 low cab model,  Attached are a photo of my truck and one of our members 1937 Chevrolet.  He did measure the door for both of the trucks because he wanted to install wind lacing in his cab and was comparing it to my truck.

A beautiful pair of trucks right there!  👍

Thanks

I have a ‘37 and a ‘46.  The interior trim pieces are not the same, “close but no cigar”.

@ole-olson thanks so much.
