Can anyone recommend the best door seal rubber to buy for my 1951 Chevy 2-ton 5100 cabover?

Steele has a lot of self-adhesive profiles. Is there a kit? A recommended thickness?
Thanks.

I seriously doubt you'll find a kit for a COE, but the door rubber seal should be the same profile as the conventional cab doors.

The conventional cab door seal might work for 80% of the door and then just fill in the curve of the wheel opening...
