Boot From Door Sill to Driver & Passengers' Doors?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run some speaker wires from my cab to each door but as my truck is a radio delete model, there aren't any rubber "boots" that I can run the wires through (like those that are used for vehicles with power windows/locks etc....).

Does anyone know what that part is so I can try to find two of them online?

1985 Ford F150, 2WD.
351 H.O Windsor, aluminum heads
Cam: Lift = .496''/.520'' Duration @ .050: 224°/234°
C6 Transmission
6" Rough Country Lift
33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich All-Terrains

Awesome Rembrant, thanks.

Will do - although I think I'm a few weeks away before I get around to the interior on the truck.

They're wiring boots, and almost any that you find will work. I prefer OE (JY) parts, and these are common, given the sheer number of F-series & Broncos produced. It's worth noting that some of the '94-97 boots are slightly larger than the '80-93s - I found out when I swapped a '95 door on my Bronco. On every door I've messed with that didn't already have the wiring holes, there was a center punch, making it easy to hole-saw in the correct spot.
