Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
Not sure if its available or reproduced but it should be held on with screws- look inside the pockets and there should be two or three screws holding it on.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
It’s not reproduced. I have seen a few on eBay from time to time, but they all look the same. Some people say leave them off, because it’s a place to trap moisture and will rust. I do have a friend that took his off and soaked them, to clean them and get them back to being pliable again, so he reused his.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
Cut down on Wind noise. And it’s only on the higher grade models. Most, if not all base model trucks didn’t get it.

That is just a photo I found online. My base model does not have the foam. I thought maybe someone had taken it off. I don't see any holes in the metal for screws to go in for fastening. What RPO option was this? |

Probably part of a high-end trim package like Silverado or Sierra Classic. Probably not its own code for those foam pieces.

As LT7A said, it’s probably just part of a trim package.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
These were not on my Custom Deluxe when I got it. I added them during resto in a hope that they would cut down on the wind noise. I never drove mine without them so I can't say whether they work or not.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
Did you have to drill holes in your A pillar to mount the foam?

Also, I bought mine from someone on the board as I could not find them reproduced.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
Thanks for the info. I don't want to drill into my A frame. I've never noticed a wind noise problem before. Also I have concerns about it rusting and holding moisture. I'm going to skip the foam since I never had it anyways.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
Probably a good choice. I know several friends that took them off because of them trapping moisture.

Re: where can I find this A pillar foam?
They're 81-86. I wonder what the difference is from the earlier models. My 74 C20 has them. Wouldn't mind getting replacements.
