Default Weather stripping for a 1979 Dodge B200 Van

I've had a lot of trouble finding weather stripping for the cargo doors on my 1979 Dodge B200 Van. The closest I've came to finding weather stripping is a kit for 1971-1977 Dodge B series vans.
I've done some reading and it doesn't seem like they changed the door designs between the 1977 and 1979 model years. I think they just changed the front grill and dashboard in 1978. Does this sound right?

Do you think the kit for 1971-1977 vans would fit?

I greatly appreciate any help in the matter.

Cheers!

Same problem here.
No personal experience... but.
From what I have read in the van forums the pins are in different places on the kit you cited.
I have also read of people gluing in weather strips from chevys.
Too busy right now to deal with mine, I will have to soon.

Try these guys: http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/dodgevan.html

They have a lot of oddities for our vans so they may be able to find weather stripping.
