Here is a suggestion that might answer your problem: There was a rubber pad used on the 1952 doors that was different on some 1950 trucks I've seen. On most all of the 1950 trucks, there were 2 pads attached to the striker plate. On the 1952 trucks, the striker plates had no pads and the single bumper pad was attached to the door jamb a few inches lower than the striker plate. If you are using 1952 striker plates on a 1950 pickup, you may have no rubber bumper pad and this will cause some sincere rattling. Will rattle like a jackhammer banging on an empty oil barrel. I'd drill a hole and modify your cab to accept the 1952 style bumper pad. Also, the 1952 strikers adjusted differently and you may need to work on the adjustment a bit. Getting it just right can take some effort. New weatherstripping will help. Just don't buy the 11/16" weatherstrip product. It is just too big and will not work correctly. 1952 doors were designed to use a max of 7/16" ~ 1/2" weatherstrip. Good luck!
