One of the last pieces for the cab is the door thresholds, and I have a bundle of wires on the driver's side to cover. I called Valley/Smooth Parts, but never got a return call so I kept figuring. After making a prototype from plywood & luan I ended up making them from walnut to match the door trim. The top is 1/2" thick, and I cut down a shoulder piece to 1/8" to roll over the door edge and fill the gap to the body line inside the door. I think it will be OK - may end up routing three or four grooves on top and putting some aluminum or SS wear strips on. Two pictures to show the assembly/fitting process, and two with them sanded a bit, ready to spray, rub out & wax. While I was working walnut I also decided to whip out a pair of trim rings, one for the shifter boot on the console, and another for the e-brake boot.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
