is something missing?

Alright first time Ford owner......really new to the forum. Any rate got some new door seal rubber. Its long enough to go around the entire door frame but there seems to be nothing on the floor board to attach the rubber to. Is something missing? Oh......1978 ford f150. Thanks in advance, Dave.

sounds like your missing the aluminum sill at each door that holds the rubber seal and the floor carpet or vinyl down. Got pic?

As Roy said, you are missing the scuff plate. Ford part #D6TZ-1013208-PR.

Mac's Antique Auto Parts wants $69.95 for a pair of them. They fit 73-79 F100 through F500.

The rocker panel is probably rotted.

This is probably what you have

Get some sheet metal angle, and pop rivit it on there.
 
That's exactly what ill do! Thanks for the idea. Floor board has been cleaned up but looks like the previous owner just removed that lip. Thanks you fixed my morning.

Yeah, the lip usually rusts off, and stays inside the old weatherstripping.


No problem, glad to help
