I was just looking at window felts tonight. The ones on my '84 are in bad shape. I'm sure that there are a lot of suppliers, but look at these two:

Original parts group (www.opgi.com) and The El Camino Store (www.elcaminostore.com)

I know the exterior ones are still available from your local dealer, and I believe the interior ones are as well. I have a set of GM NOS exteriors available for sale. If you're interested send me a PM.

I just replaced the inner sweeps on my '84. They are attached to the door panels with some bent 'staple' type fasteners. They are difficult to remove and really can't be re-used. I found some large carpet staples in the local hardware that worked well - I drilled the new moulding and was able to replicate the factory look.

It's a lot of work, but looks great when done.
Good luck and be very patient!

I just replaced mine a few weeks ago... The El Camino Store has sets of them for very good prices... I got all 4 sweeps for $75 I think... somewhere around there...

Kinda tricky to install, but they keep your door from disolving... in my case, disolving further Poke Tounge
