Hey guys I AM WORKING ON MY 70 AND CAN'T FIND WHERE THE REAR BODY TO BUMPER SEAL MOUNTS???. i can find the part alond back of the bed but can't figure out where the other side mounts, not in shop manual, car just getting out of paint mode now need to finish chrome and trim items. glad when this will be finished. HELP!

OK, open tail gate and look down the rubber seal (just a flate piece of rubber 6" x width of bed opening) it attaches only on the bed side with six clips that go through the rubber part and into the "L" out metal edge accross and below the bed look for 6 small square holes, takes special clips that come from under the rubber and the rubber goes below the ledge with the hole. There should be a punch out 1" hole in the middle of the rubber part for the air shock filler and a slit and hole on the left side to go around the wire loom coming out of the tailgate from the lights (Gen 3) the seal just lays there (no clips on the back or sides). If you need a pic I can do that latter and send it to you via your regular email, PM me your email.

IF you have the seal and need the clips I found them at El Camino Factory, most other places have the seal and don't have the correct clips. There is other ways to attach, if you are not looking to be factory correct.


Its so easy your going fell but most things are not this easy.

That little piece of rubber aint that cheap. Around $25.00 (I think). their pretty proud of it.

Good guess Donny, $16.50 to $21.00 plus the clips at about $1.98 each plus shipping. I just change mine after 20 years realy looks nice to open the gate and see that new rubber piece its like looking at a new Elky, "no splits no over spray no duct tape no hits runs or errors"

They don't make it in yellow so you will have to do some magic on that piece for your Bumble Bee .

Thanks Skinny, I have holes now I know what to do with em!! Not going with stock
look so I will upgrade the mountings with head lite rim nylon buttons which are a pop fit and
stainless screws and flat washers. Should be quite an improvement on keeping tailgate area from packing junk! The longer I'm here the more I learn about how to use the site , which is a technical mystery at first. Will take some photos and post soon, Looking forward to a better year!!!!:You_Rock:

Skinyfisher do you have a picture of this? I have a 70 and have no clue what partyou guys are talking about. There's no rubber piece when I open up my tailgate
