Windlace is the rubber weatherstripping that goes around the inside door opening on your First Series Chevy or GMC pickup. You may simply see a metal groove around the inside perimeter of the door. That's where the windlace goes. Over time this weatherstrip gets beat up and also dry-rots, so it tends to be missing in a lot of trucks. Installing new windlace is also a pain. Installation tip: use plenty of soapy water.
The windlace is two parts: one part runs the entire inside perimeter of the door opening in the cab, and the second part runs across the upper rocker panel section where it meets the floor. This section of windlace is referred to as the Lower Cab Windlace. We sell it in a pair and it can be found here - raybuck.com/product/1949-1955...
Please comment below if you have any questions about this windlace, its installation, or any other weatherstripping on the First Series GM trucks.

Sorry, we used to, but our one supplier discontinued them, so we no longer carry them.

Is the windlace worth buying? I do not have it on mine right now and I am not sure if I would like to spend the money.

If you're planning on doing any longer trips, then it's worth buying. We did a long trip prior to installing the windlace, and you could feel a considerable amount of air pushing up through that gap, almost like a slow fan was running. We were driving in the rain, and it was most air that was coming into the cab, so it felt slightly damp for the whole ride. I made a similar ride after installing the windlace, and there was next to no air flow from that area. It made for a much more comfortable ride.

Any tips on the windlace install around the door?

The door windlace is a beast. It took me almost two hours per side to install. I would recommend using either a foaming window cleaner spray or a soapy water spray to help lube the seal and track. And I would suggest using something like this weatherstripping tool to help insert the seal into the track www.prp.com/product/detail/351453?keyword=tool&sort=u.Name&paginationCount=24&type=All

Thanks so much brother. I have tried almost everything to speed it up but sound futile. I am going to give a screen tool a try as well.@@RaybuckAutoBodyParts

That is really not where that goes. That rubber is the filler between the cab and the running board.

You're thinking of the running board weatherstrip seals (raybuck.com/product/1947-1955-gm-pickup-running-board-weatherstrip-seal-kit/). They look similar, but are different.
