wind noise

Hello, I am new to this forum and own a 1956 Ford F100 that has been totally customized in Cal. My question is has anyone had experience re-sealing door to prevent wind noise. Currently there is weather striping in but it is awful. I have been looking around and no-one seems to make a door seal exclusively for this '56 F100. Any advise.......pointers would be a great help.
Thanks
Tom

Check out www.midfifty.com. They have several types. Give them a call. The seals on my '56 are very stiff to compress.

Edit: Excuse me, Welcome to the forum.
My seals are NOT from mid fifty.

Ditto Mid fifty. You want the "hollow"ones to avoid raytasch"s problem.


That is Mid fifty F100 parts in arizona.

P.S. Welcome to this forum.
