Well it may not be much, the order was under $100.00 (around 80 I think) but I finally got it in the mail today. My first parts on a long list of items that need either replacement or repair. My Weather stripping has finally arrived. I will be installing it over the weekend, since I work shift work (look that song up and You'll know my hours) my weekend starts Tuesday afternoon when I finish work and ends Saturday Night at 11:00 pm. I can't wait, soon I will have new stripping and my doors should stop leaking at the seams.

 

Do not remove the doors to install the weatherstrips, getting them aligned properly after you reinstall them will be a PITA.

Once you glue the strips on the door, use masking tape to secure it, especially at the corners. Close the door till it just touches the striker plate.

Remove the dome lamp bulb so your battery doesn't go dead.

The new weatherstrips will be fatter than the old flattened out originals, so the doors may have to be closed harder to latch them.

 

Thanks for the tip. A buddy of mine is coming over to help. As far as the dome light, no worry there, I has no dome light, or headliner for that matter, or insulation come to think of it. Just the metel roof. lol. I love my truck.

 

also make sure the ends of the w/strip on the doors is at the bottom as original and I would save the originals so you have an idea of how the rubber is supposed to lay...mainly around the cowl area where it transitions up the vent window area on the door...lotta curves and such...
