Rubber Bumpers in door jambs?

Honestly I could not find a suitable photo that clearly shows the bumpers. Where these installed at all assembly plants ?

Re: Rubber Bumpers in door jambs?

Not sure if serious but, some trucks got 3 in each jamb from the factory, others got two. Seems to be a plant specific thing? See this thread.

Yeah man, if there's a hole, well, it needs a bumper. See, I kept it pretty clean. I didn't know there was a 2 (male) or 3 (Female) "option". Dog gone it

Re: Rubber Bumpers in door jambs?

I was thinking, I don't feel those boots match the truck, and she'd do better without them. After I pondered that a while, I thought to look at the interior, being the truck's interior, and then thought about laces. It was then I noticed that steering wheel has the same cover as mine or close, only its laces are loose, which somehow seems to fit with her in the picture.

I’m not sure, but mine doesn’t have Pink boots.

Yes, the trucks came with two bumpers, one upper and one lower, in each door opening.

Depends of model year and assembly plant. Some truck cabs have three holes. Some had them in the middle hole.
