I know all of these cabs are different. Maybe it will work fine on yours? I realize The tolerances were all over the place from cab to cab 70 years ago.

I tried for hours to re adjust the doors after installing soft seal- I gave up.

I have no wind noise at all after using the Steel Rubber. If I remember correctly is was more expensive than the others?

Watch a few You Tube videos on how to install . Make sure you apply the 3M Adhesive to both door and weather strip. And extra set of hands really helps.

Get your doors adjusted good first before you install the weather strip.
I decided against the universal peel and stick from soffseal. I just could not get myself to believe it would stay put, so I bought the correct style from Precision and used 3M. Hope it works and hope I can get the doors shut
