    Default Interesting find...any candy bar experts out there?

    Ethan, on mine the top areas are already done, it's the lower part of the doors that's completely open (or was until I put a little weatherstripping in there). Just that little bit I did helped so much I decided to try and get it all fixed. BTW, all the rubber actually holding the side window glass is crunchy now. I'm going to be careful with it when cleaning and hope it all hangs on there for awhile.

    Now that's a great idea, hadn't thought of that. I am still considering rubber mats but carpet would be nice...

    YES. I had looked at and considered M's with the civvie cab mod but even as leaky, drafty, squeaky and odd as the mil cab is I still prefer it!

    Al, mine's a 68 and it has some sharp vertical edges at the bottom of the door openings. That looks like where you'd put the weatherstripping on on mine. At least that's what I plan on doing in addition to some smaller stuff on the door itself.

    Yeah. $90 just for the door stripping was too much for me!
