I used sound deadener showdown products on my cab. Worked out really well, for the doors however I just used the CLD tiles, which is essentially the Fatmat/dynamat. It's simply a mass damper (stops panel vibration but not really blocking sound).
There's not really room to do the rest of their system, though you have more room between the glass and the outside of the door than on the inside, it's not the ideal location for the other parts of the system.
The CLD tiles are heavier and unlike most of the other units they do not want 100% coverage. They want about 30% coverage over the center 50% of the panel. I used about three tiles for each door, mostly on the outside skin with a few strips on the larger inside areas. Ironically what really helped deaden the doors was putting glass in them.
As for the weather stripping VPW has it, but you may find it cheaper at Roberts Motor Parts, or Dodge Central of MI (links in the parts page).
Save your old trim clips though, the reproductions aren't identical and don't work as well.
