I cant remember if it was on here or the other forum this was posted.
Note they make 2 different types. Early ones bolt to the back side with 3 studs and a washer shaped to hold it flat to the panel.
Then there is the type you posted.
I cant remember if they are called door handle sweep or seal?
I am pretty sure the early ones are only NOS if you can find them.
I dont remember on your type as I dont have that type and I was given a set of the early ones.
Also to note any of the new door panels you can buy are of the later type and use the door handle seal you have.
I did not find this out till I started looking for new panels for my 81 F100.
So besides the slider door locks on early panels the handle seals are different also.
Good luck

Oh the A pillar trim is only find good used or fix what you got.
Also note there are 2 types
Head liner and non-head liner.
I know the tops are different because of the head liner but I dont know how bad it would look using head liner ones in place of non-head liner ones.
I also dont know if you can trim the head liner one to fit non-head liner trucks. I need to look into this 1 day.
Or try and fix what I have for my non-head liner truck.

@FuzzFace2 , are you saying that replacement door panels already have these little seals installed? I have non-power, post-type door locks so they're not hard to find... l was planning on refurbishing my originals but they're pretty brittle and scratched, replacing them has remained an option in my mind.
l don't have a headliner. My A pillar trim (each side) just has a crack at the top screw hole so probably repair-able enough to be passable as long as I'm careful reinstalling it. I've never tried plastic welding before, maybe now's the time. I just ordered new seat upholstery so I'm just trying to have all the pieces lined-up so l can do everything at once.
Ebay has been a bit of a dry well lately... overpriced bits and pieces, huge shipping costs, not great stuff.
What I was trying to say is there are 2 different types of deals.
Mine comes in from the back side and held in place with 3 nuts, mine has slider locks.
The newer panels and any of the replacement ones are like your type and look to snap in from the front and have pin locks.
I will see if I can find a picture of mine to show but in any case good used or NOS if they pop up somewhere.
