I have a 79 truck and a 82 Van and they have different diameters on striker neck but did not matter they both shut like a dream, no more slamming the doors. One day I might take striker off and slide a piece of pex over it but for now, a slit on 1 side of pex and doors work great. Well worth time and effort no matter which way you go, pex or OEM bushing.

I did the same. I also had some of that VERY stick poly control arm bushing grease left over and put some of that on the pex and doers have closed without any problems.
