Rubber door bumper location and size?

Anyone got a pic of the rubber door bumpers on a truck.
I bought the kit but can seem to figure which hole is the location for the bumper.
See pic. Need locations for these 3.
Thanks!
Mark

Not sure why three. Both my 71 & 72 use two per door. You should have two holes. One above the latch plate, one near the bottom of the door jam. The correct bumper is the one on top in your pic.

Two of those are for the tailgate. The lower two in your pic. One of each for both sides

I am pretty sure they was three holes per side on the 67 and 68 if it still has the original rockers.

My '69 has always had 3 holes in each door jamb. However, from day one, only the top and bottom holes have had bumpers like the top one in the post 1 picture.

Really stupid question but how do you get those into the holes? mine seem too big to fit. I bought ones made for 67-72 chevy trucks.

I tried this but it just seems like the pointed part is just too big. I press as hard as possible and it goes in a bit but can never get the whole pointed piece in. Just smashes down
