Modify a set from 80 to 97 f100 to f650. Cheap on ebay and worth every cent. The hell with LMC carpenter for our years. The later seal perfectly all our have them.

So all the door seals and anti rattlers will work from a 80 model door ? With some modifications ?

Just the outer door seals. For window seals use the 73-79 kit from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard - excellent quality.

What he said. Doors seals from later models, you will have to cut and flatten the bottom portions so they fit flush under the sill plates, which screw through into the existing holes. Thats the most difficult part.
