Ratting 1950 F1 body
When driving on Michigan's bad roads, I get a lot of body noise.
Shocks and springs are good. Should I expect this rattling noise, or is it possible I could do something to better secure the doors for example? Thanks

try putting a seal around the door, I used a rubber extrusion from Steel Rubber Products made for fiberglass cars and it stopped a lot of rattles and wind intrusion

A Ford dealer in the "50's used to say: "Used cars rattle; new cars squeak." Rattles often appeared after a few months on the washboard roads of the day, depending on how fast the vehicle was driven.

Re: Ratting 1950 F1 body
Have you installed new rubber on the cab? What about other parts of the truck?

Re: Ratting 1950 F1 body
Wisconsin has followed the lead of Michigan and installed crappy roads everywhere. The best way to get rid of most body noise is to carry a couple hundred pounds of payload in the bed. Quiets everything down right nice.

Some guy promised he'd make America's roads great again.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Ratting 1950 F1 body
Aside from good rubber seals, you need to make sure the dovetail gets firmly seated when the door is closed. That prevents up-down movement of the door, which can also lead to the door popping open.
On my truck, most of the rattling is from inside the door, the window regulator and door latch pieces that are loose on their rivets. I'm figuring to wrap some of them in peel'n'stick to reduce the racket.

Add parking brake lever to the rattlers, and the tool box.
