    I’m looking at purchasing door rubbers. Is there a certain ones that are recommended or preferred? I looked at some from sofseal and they appear to be ‘not available’ and a little expensive. What are you guys using? Pics would also be helpful

    Bob Drake will have them. Sometimes they will need to be sanded for proper fit.

    I've never installed any 33 Ford rubber, but I do know that Dennis Carpenter makes good stuff for a 32. Check out their catalog and see if they offer what you need for a 33.

    If possible, can someone post a picture of a door with rubbers installed? Even if it’s not the factory styled ones.
    I would think that door rubbers should be simple but I am finding it quite difficult. Thanks in advance

    They just slide into place, and my earlier comment was regarding your particular door gaps. It the door rubs the bumper too much when you close it then you can sand the rubber to adjust the fit.
    Shown are Bob Drake, but available from many suppliers that stock Drake or Carpenter.

    Don’t you want to use the original style stuff?

    I’ve got the bumpers installed, no issues there.
    It’s the door seals that I’m having problems with. I’d like to use the original styled stuff but I’m open.
