Just checked and the plastic bushing on the striker is missing on both doors.Will try AutoZone tomorrow. I will probally go ahead and change the bushing's and pins on the drivers side to match the other door.Will post followup tomorrow. Thanks

UPDATE AS PROMISED- Just finished test drive and all air-leaks are gone .truck sounds quiet inside. Doors open and close easily. Went to autozone and bought plastic bushing's for the striker. Boy!Did this ever make a difference!!Only problem during project was battery went dead from bed-light being on due to doors being open so long. I want to thank everyone here for all the good advise.If a novice like myself can do this,anyone can. THANKS TO ALL AGAIN!!!
