Looking for best door seals. found a perfect one at the salvage can't match it up to
I was able to pick up a door seal far looked to be unused out of a 79 f250 in the salvage yard. I looked all over could not find the other matching one. I installed and it is real old school rubber not the cheap rubber foam crap. It had medal fingers molded into the rubber to pinch on the seam. They are not exposed unless you cut to size the seal. I will post pics later. The seal itself has slight raised ribbing like 3 lines running lengthwise. Any clue who makes these or what other application it could be for? It looks like it could be universal, but had taken the shape of the passenger side already.
Bum,p. THERE Has GOT TO BE People Who Have Replaced Their door seals. I know that autocrafters and places like Drake and few other ones off also have replacement seals but it seems that all of them basically the same expanded foam that eBay does as well so I don't think there's any difference between me and you is there anybody out there who is using anything other maybe another application that universal that will work on our truck that can be bent and molded to the shape of the doors as far as that that feels better the one that I found at the salvage yard are ridiculously good sealing nothing gets In in fact I had to adjust the stop on it because they steal that well any and all help is much appreciated thanks.

i used the ones out of my uncles dead 91 f150. they work great. i really like the metal backing that goes all the way around helps hold them in place and they sealed better than the lmc junk i bought for the truck the first time.
Spiking how well did the 91s shape to the earlier for opening. I will see if that is what these are. Just getting off work and took some pics will post later. Thx.

fit perfect. on the older cab there is some tabs that stick out that i ground off. the door shape is pretty much the same. only problem is when you get to the doorsills. at the top of the sills is a horseshoe shaped end i just use a set of rusted out ones and cut the end off. all so when you screw the sills down you have to trim the metal backing off just a little here and there to get them to lay flat. i used a rubber dead blow to bang them into place.
Yes I got a set off a 90 ish truck that has the plastic door sill plates. That seal has metal inside the track or gap that clips on the cab lip/edge. I believe I will have to trim some length off, but it will joint under the sill plate.
Sorry I can't remember exactily what year a truck it was.
No problem I appreciate the responses. I will check the salvage yard for those years. Hope I get a match at least to type, I don't care if I have to buy new (actually prefer) as long as I have a positive id.
