The last Weatherstrip Seal I bought from Robert’s was the “T2” seal for the 39-47 Dodge truck. It is not vulcanized, just a straight length and the ends have to be glued together once installed. Black Silicone seal works well to do that. The seal is correct for the truck and does fit fairly tight in the frame channel as it should. Don’t try and pull the seal around the frame, it doesn’t work well to install it that way. To install:

Press the rubber into the frame channel with a putty knife. Soapy water or glycerin works well on the rubber to facilitate assembly. Start pressing the rubber in at any point, gradually working your way around. A good place for the joint is midway on the driver or passenger side.

Robert’s catalog has the seal listed, but the web site does not.

A good rule to go by when you order parts from Robert’s or any other retailer, “any part specifically listed for the 39-47 Dodge truck is generally correct for the FFPW.” I see in the Robert's catalog some parts descriptions do mention the FFPW for the part, but apparently they all don’t work on the FFPW based on the posts below. I’m not sure if retailers really check for proper fit on some of these parts.
