1. Door seal
2. Running lights that match the holes? Or am I dreaming and I should just patch drill for new different ones
3. Also looking for a source for wheel covers preferably used, steel, matching and reasonably priced. Is there such a thing?
4. Since I want to install carpet in the cab. Is there a product out there that "finishes" the ends of the carpet thinking of something that is plastic that can be screwed down like an edge.
1) Door seal: Which one(s)? There are vent window weatherstrips, inner and outer door belt weatherstrips, door weatherstrips that fit around the circumference, division bar weatherstrips.
2) Running lights that match the holes. What type of "running lamps?" Where are the holes?
3) AFAIK, FoMoCo never offered wheel covers or hubcaps for C Series Trucks.
4) These are refered to as scuff or sill plates, Ford first offered them for the C Series in 1978.
D8HZ-9013208-A .. Right Scuff Plate / Obsolete
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ONE = 800-543-4959.
----------------------------------------------------------
D8HZ-9013209-A .. Left Scuff Plate / Obsolete
GREEN SALES CO. has TWO.
No Ford Dealer, no other obsolete parts vendor has either one.
Let me know about the w/strips, running lights...I'll see if anyone has any NOS (New Old Stock).
AFAIK, no one is reproducing C Series parts, but it's essentially the same truck from 1957 thru 1986
