Thanks Max, and 1/2" pex is the ID, so should work fine with no tape on the pin.

Might be simple for a master like you Dave. Simple questions and simple answers...

Sorry Dave. But as I said, I had no idea there was supposed to be a sleeve on that pin. I wonder why my drivers door doesn't make the same noise as the passenger side did.

So a black one would be too much

The original sleeves weren't gone from my doors; they were just worn paper thin, allowing the doors to rattle.
I was at the local ACE and there was a big roll of white plastic tubing; maybe it was PEX; I have no idea; the guy who owns the place cut me off four pieces the right length; I split them lengthwise using my trusty Buck.
I snapped two of them on my doors and have no idea where the two spares I made ended up.
This was years and years ago and they are still going strong.
I frequently drive a 1985 F-700 that has the same cab as these trucks; if you don't ferociously slam the doors on an empty water bottle, the rattling racket will drive you crazy across rough corn ground.
People who don't know think the driver is crazy when someone opens a door and he goes chasing the crushed water bottle like it was a sack of money.
