Default Barndoor Seals

What years would barn door seals be the same? Lots of folks make replacements for the driver and passenger side, but not for the side and rear barn doors... thinking about hitting a junkyard in search of some newer ones that might fit an '84 B350. Thoughts? Thanks.

I've never used old seals, and I'm really che...er...thrifty. It's just too much hassle. You may have to glue generic seals in but you can also try https://www.autopartswarehouse.com They may have what you need. I've gotten some parts made out of unobtainium from them before.

Thanks. I've checked all the major sites and makers... lots of "universal" parts, but nothing specifically for B-van barn doors... now if this were a Chevy.

Get some mineral spirits and gorilla snot. Then you'll be needing some universal weather strip. The gorilla snot is called 3 weatherstrip adhesive and is a nasty looking yellow. (Hence the nick name) The mineral spirits is to get it off your hands as it is REALLY aggressive adhesive..
