I will be checking into it. Once I start getting the seals in bulk I can play with other years to see what works but it will take some time. These are the right seals for 67072's but may not be right for other body styles.

Well the kit I am putting together does not have anything to do with the main door seal. The inner and outer I am doing seal to them selves separate of the main door seal.

So I will not sell it separate because you would not be happy with the results.

Ok I just ordered enough for 18 kits for the first go round. Delivery to me will be just over 2 weeks from today. The profiles I ordered are in stock but they add the adhesive as it is ordered so it is very fresh and sticky

Looks like the best all around way to do shipping is to use the flat rate package. I could save a few or spend a few more depending on where it is shipping to. But I figure if it takes me more time to deal with packaging and pricing then I would have to charge more so this should be the best way to go.

What are your thoughts?

And it looks like I can do it pre cut, packaged with simple directions and shipped any where in the USA for $65.00

I will have my wife get the pay pal set up tonight for pre-orders for the first 18 and that will also let me know if I need to order more before this shipment gets here.

Kevin, I was going to order for my 77 C20, thinking the only issue would be that the strips would probably not be the right length. However, now I am reading again what you wrote and get the idea you think the profiles you are working with now might not be the ones you come up with as best for my 77.
I can wait or I can take a chance with what you have now - what do you think?
Thanks.

I would wait! Once my next 2 shipments come in I will be checking the fit on a few different years so i can find out what will and will not work.

PayPal is set up for orders, ship date for the first batch will be 3 weeks from 11-18-09 if ordering now click here! This kit is for 2 truck doors only and is $65 shipped for burbs send me a PM and we will work it out.

I have ordered enough for 18 sets (2 door trucks) but if I get enough orders up front I can add more material to this order.

I will check on shipping and let you know but it should not be much more if any.

I can do canada for the same cost as what the flat rate boxes are costing me. It will be a few dollars more but I will eat that, less paper work

Ok 13 sets out of the first 18 are sold so I think I will order another batch so their will not be much of a waiting period for the next order. But if you want in the first order group their are currently 5 sets left, tick-tick-tick

How permanent is the adhesive? If I install this stripping and a year from now decide to paint the truck, can I pull it off without damaging the stripping? Obviously I would need to apply new adhesive.

I think it would ruin the seal and leave half of it on the truck. But this way you can see if you like how it works before putting it onto new paint!

Kevin,
This may be a bit off topic, but I feel you are the best to answer this question because of all your experimenting. I bought some seals for the doors form Steele Rubber Products upon request of my body man, and once they were installed, my doors will hardly close. I know this may be normal, but the amount of effort that it takes to close the door leaves me feeling I am going to dent the door where the handle mounts to the door itself (exterior) with such required force. I did not measure the gap between the door sealing surface and the lip on the cab, but they look uniform all the way around on the passenger side and slightly off on the driver side. I would say they are close to 3/16". Is this normal? I will get down the the body shop on Monday and measure if this helps answer. Is there a better seal to purchase that is not quite so "fat" allowing the door to not be damaged? Again I didn't measure the uncompressed thickness of the seal, but it is much much larger than the gap, more so than I believe it should be. I installed some door seals on my early bronco some years back and the doors seemed hard to close, but nothing like this; and after a month or two, they shut just fine and I never worried about it again. By the way, I purchased a set of your new seals and they are in transit and I was just getting ready to install them once they arrived. I am looking forward to having a "like new" old pickup.
Thanks

James

Are the seals that you have already put in stock seals from SRC or are they a different style? I know a lot of guys use buy 73 up and they are bigger and cause problems. Are yours glue on or push on? I have always got mine from LMC or ECE and they are the stock glue on and work fine (but leak ) around the tops. And yes if they are real hard to close you can end up with tweaks around the door handles.

They are the glue on. I made sure they were the correct p/n and talked to the rep. They say I can send them back and get new ones, but I don't see what that would change...I may check out ECE.
