It's called the drip rail deflector and is mounted to the top & windshield frame. You can pick up the set from LMC Truck for $23 +s&h --> specific page from their catalog.

#3 in the page I linked to is what I was describing. It mounts to the windshield frame & the top to prevent leaks in that area. I had a hard time viewing the picture on my phone, but if you are talking about the door cap (the part that is mounted to the door itself), I'm not sure that is reproduced. If that is the case, you will have to search for someone parting out a 67-72 that has nice replacements.

Here's what they should look like:


That image is brotherstrucks.com, but I could not find the cap in their online catalog. But you might have luck searching through the PDF of their catalog.

*EDIT* - Brother's Truck does have them under PN DWC6972 for $44.99 a pair. If you download their catalog, they are on pg35.
