Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

A little more done..the cowl vents were in fairly good shape...on most of these trucks this is a very bad spot for rusting out...I did have to patch the vent box on the drivers side but pass side was flawless..took the vent flaps apart to replace the rubber seals...one was in decent shape the other was deteriorated...I took one to work and checked the durometer...it showed to be about 20...so I ordered some 20d rubber sheet from McMasterCarr ...cut out the new rubber flappers..the old flappers were stapled together..must have been some more staple gun to go thru 2 sheets of metal... I opted to just use pop rivets...sandblasted and painted the flappers...I think these'll be ok
