I removed my air ducts from the front of my 1972 Bus, doesn't look like the seals are made for this anymore. So what are you guys using as a replacement?

Lots of ducts and seals on these old rig, so you need to be more specific.

I've tired to upload pics, I hate the way you have to upload these photos. I can't find the pics I've tired to upload.

They are the metal halves on the intake box. They attach to the front of the bus that goes to the doors some people cap them and some run the door ducts to the back of the bus. These are the ones in front of the door and the air tubes also attach to the them on the top.

make your own from a thin sheet of foam or buy used ones from someone like TheBusco.

The seals are just thin strips of foam, exactly like common door/window seals sold at any hardware store. You just cut into pieces to fit and stick 'em on.
