Bought a '64 Deluxe - Body part question

[MrPolak]

I recently bought a '64 Deluxe, Blue White/Turquoise, which is currently at a shop getting prepped for rust repair.

Could someone tell me what this piece is called? It appears to have held a seal at the top of the door. Mine is rusted and I would like to know if a reproduction is available:

[65 Deluxe]

This is not reproduced as far as I know. You will have to cut it out of another bus. There are a few guys on here are cutting up buses at the moment, look in the type 2 parts classifieds.

You can buy the piece that the door rods go through. And the other piece is two pieces of metal. One has ribs and the other does't. Depends on how badly rusted it is you might be able to make your own piece (sans ribs).

Scan around for a used part. Post more pics of your bus. Did you find it in GA?

Thanks for all the replies.

I found this one in Alabama. I will follow up with some pics tomorrow.

I looked on the KlassicFab site and found this, which appears to be what I need:
