Hi,
I got this 96 Silverado about 2 months ago to plow my lot with (came with a western Unimount).
I have been working along the way to kind of clean it up and do some little things around the edges to make it look a little more livable.
I recently painted a new passenger side fender to put on (first thing I have actually ever painted other than primer) because I figured for a beater truck anything was better than what it wass. I buffed out the body, and gave the interior an all world cleaning. Last weekend I painted the wiper arms, windshield cowl, and the rear cargo lamp housing, because little things like that make a difference and they are easy to do.
It still sounded awful noisy on the passenger side, and I realized today it is missing the gasket between the body and door, and I think that is where my noise is coming from.
What is that seal called exactly, as I need to buy one.
I circled it crudely in the picture, but it is the one on the body that has the metal drip edge it sits on. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are some pictures of my progress on my truck.
Weather Stripping needed (circled in black):

Still lots more to do, but it is nice to win a few little battles along the way and keep it drivable as opposed to tearing it all apart in an attempt to do everything at once. Not to mention I need to be able to plow with it if it ever decides to start snowing.
