Hi all, does any one know for sure if the 34 1/2 ton pickup took the short or long rubber at the bottom of the doors ?
Thanks ..

I built 4 deuce pickups (same doors) and never knew there were 2 choices? I've just always ordered the lower door seal from Drake and was not given an option. Interesting.

So which seal looks like the one you have been using Krylon ,
Im thinking the short one, it looks like it would seal better.

The one on the right is the better bet of the two, but like some reproduction parts, this one isn't made quite right as the part extending outward from the T that inserts into the channel in the door should extend out further before curling down. That shown in your photo will not completely fill the gap between the door bottom and the cab sill.
