Now I've got a couple of questions I'm not sure about. On the lower window wipe seals, the ones that fit in the channel at the lower edge of the window. Are they suppose extend all the way to both edges or stop at the end of the channels? If they extend what holds them in place? I might be missing something because there is nothing beyond the end of the channels to hold them or seal that section of the windows.
Now on the door weatherstrips. I know there is one for around the door and one for the bottom but I keep seeing parts listings for in the channel around the door frame and I have no such channel. Do I need one strip per door or do I need a inner and outer( 2 per door). I haven't yet been able to find a orginal break down for them that shows me what I need so I'm kinda lost and confused on this.
Thanks

The channel around the door openings may pertain only to the AD series trucks. Your 46 should be a Art Deco model correct?

The channel around the door frame is for the windlace.

I'm not sure what you're asking re: the lower window wipe seals ... but maybe THIS will help?

the window lower wiper seal doesn't really do much for "sealing" and just fit the length of the channel - they're actually the "lower glass setting tape" and just help fill the space between the glass and the window opening when the window is up to lessen drafts and keep the glass from rattleing

the door seals on the 46 are the kind that fit under the panels surrounding the door opening - as Alan sez, called \'windlace\' - to prevent the wind whistleing in yer ears - the ones that fit in 'channels' are the AD years
