I have a 1944 1.5 ton truck on which I am going to replace the weather stripping / windlace. They have it at Mac's in cloth or vinyl. I have not looked into salvaging a newer version, I guess I'm sticking with the original style.

Dennis Carpenter has the rubber seals
78-7320632 Top of Door Seal - goes across top and down rear side of door
91c-8120706 Bottom of door seal (goes into metal retainer on cab body (7C-8120712-PR))
You'll need a tube of 3M weatherstrip adhesive as well (COAZ 19554-A) but you can get at any place that handles 3M stuff. I think MACs has the rubber seals as well. Front of door needs a thinner strip as the tolerances are smaller. Haven't done that part yet.
Welcome also!
P.S. The price is right on these parts and is probably cheaper and easier (correct fit) that "tearing up" the seals around a newer door at the yard!

The weather seal on my 1990 Ford Ranger looks like a good possibility. May stop by the salvage yard and strip off a couple doors to try for the top and back sides. Probably get both doors for $10.

Hi YBlock. I'm new to the site but am looking at a '46 also. What you are talking about is windlace. Lebaron Bonnie, LeBaron Bonney Company - Antique Auto Upholstery, Seat Covers, Panel Covering, Interiors Kits - Amesbury, MA sells the windlace alone or in a kit with the rest of the interior parts.
