Thanks for your help, I just looked on Chevy Duty's website and it seems
that there are two different retainers that hold the rubber going across the
bottom of the cab door opening. One has 8 screws and the older 47-49 has
16. I guess I'll have to get them for my year since my truck was missing
them.
