I also have an 87 ranger, but where did you get the weather stripping and the seals from? And also how did you re-dye the interior?

This company isn't bad to work with. I've gotten a few things from them.

You can also check out ebay. I saw some on there too.

Sorry guys, I have been out for a while but after all that work I Had to sell the truck, I miss it very much and plan on doing it again to another truck. At least that truck went to an owner that can appreciate the work I did and it will live on !
