Door weather stripping

As my 400,000 mile 54 rusts away, the cab is settling unevenly onto the frame. The top of the drivers door is tight and the bottom has a 1 1/2 inch gap. I have made custom weatherstripping with window foam and duct tape. My question is what is the best brand of duct tape to use? Art

Art, are you messing with us? This looks like something I would pull to confuse my on-line friends, and then laugh at them....heh, heh.

Or you could use DUCK brand tape. We used to call it Mach 1 tape, because someone from the military put a strip of it on a wing of a fighter jet and it tore off at around 700 m.p.h.

I have purchased a type of duct tape made by Nashua which is now a Tyco company. Anyway they have maybe 30 different proucts. I purchased the most expensive my hardware store had and it was the best stuff I have ever seen. It was so sticky that when I pealed it from the roll I couldn't get my fingers off the tape. I swear it almost removed my skin everytime I came in contact with the sticky surface.

Check out their website.
