Door Weather Striping

I have a wind problem with my doors on my 53. Awhile back I was driving down the road and looked over at the passengers door, and could see daylight.
I read sonewhere there was a good weather striping that could be bought that would seal up this problem. The doors on this truck fit like a glove, close nice and even, just the wind noise problem.
Anyone out there know of a good product that can be bought for this. Please post it if you know of any , thanks in advance

Check out the thread entitled "adjusting doors". Looks like Pep Boys makes a one-size-fits all product that works well.

The May 2006 issue of Rod and Custom on page 84 has an ad from Steele Rubber Products that shows a stick-backed rubber extrusion that comes in 10 ft lengths.

Weather Stripping

Looks like I have a variety of options here. So far the Soft Seal seems to be the recomended one.
Also with the hollow center it sounds like the answer. Sure appreciate all the replies, when I decide which way to go I will post the results.
I was going to go with the originals at first, but that seems to be a not so good choice.
Thanks again for the come backs, much appreciated
