The donor vehicle that I recieved mine from was an S series blazer thing. It was a four door, and the weather stripping was from the front doors.
As I recall, it was even a little bit too long so I had to cut it down.
Best bet is to take a simple piece of string, and use it to verify the length. Just about any weather stripping will do, you just have to be creative when you are at the salvage yard.
I dont quite recall why I chose this particular arrangement, I was at the salvage yard looking for some other stuff, and I noticed this vehicle with some of this stuff hanging down. So I grabbed it and viola, it fit. Well this was some stuff from another vehicle, and I still had a bit of a wind noise, so as I poked around some more, I found this little blazer that had some weather strippng that had a slightly different shape. The profile was different, so I tried this, and it was just right. No more wind noise.
Perhaps it was my door adjustment, but my doors shut perfectly, and easilly, and it may have some other contributing factors, but try some from the salvage yard.
Just be sure that you dont find any of the molded stuff. These will have bends and a radius where you do not want them, and this will not fit.
Happy hunting.

 

Hmm, well the were out of S- series... our local junk yard is literally... a yard of junk.. nothing useful. About the only thing there that wasnt 30+ years old, was a 95 F-150. Snagged the weather stripping for $10 and with a little bending and removing of 4" done. All but new weatherstripping, and no leaks, doors shut awesome. Now if only there was something i could get side window weatherstripping out of. Thanks for the tip guys, i dont know why, but i honestly would never have thought of this.

 

Sweeet! thats great to hear. Glad that worked out for you. Whatever works right?
When you find that side window solution makes sure that you let me know right away will ya!

 

One bit of info inre to door weatherstrips:

The original factory installed door weatherstrips are NOT the same as the replacement Genuine Ford weatherstrips, so they won't be the same as the repro weatherstrips.

The replacement weatherstrips are fatter.

Originally....when the weatherstrips were available at the parts counter, they came with an instruction sheet on how to install them.

After glueing the weatherstrips on, use masking tape to keep it in place, especially at the corners.

Close the door till it just touches the striker plate. Remove the dome lamp bulb or battery cable to keep the battery from running down.

 

Good to know! Thanks!

 

Haha you bet. Ive noticed that putting a little 15-40 on them helps a bit, but is in no way a "fix"

 

After reading this thread I went out and found a 03 to 06 Chevy S-10 pickup in the junk yard. I pulled out it's weatherstrip and installed it on my truck last night. It didn't have the metal clips in it, but there are metal wires in the part that goes over the lip. Turned out it was about 1/2" short of fully going aroung the door in my 77. For the bottom, I just bent the channel out to make it 90 deg instead of the 180 deg, gently hammered it flat to my floor and screwd in the orignal metal floor plate down on top of it. It takes a little work and adjusting, but it turned out fairly well.
