I'm not sure what I'm looking at.Is this the trim above the garnish molding on the doors ?

Looks like windlace to me that goes around the door opening. You can see it here around the door interior in this pre-restoration pic.

Door or cab? Look how long it is. I'm wondering if it's the part at the bottom of the headliner.

I don't have a good pic of it but there's a double windlace, one that goes all the way around the door opening (the one shown in my link) and another much shorter that ends at the base of the windshield garnish molding. I believe the parts you are questioning may be the shorter piece.

I am pretty sure it is what is called wire on goes around top part of doors where the head liner goes and bends in half to hide the nails/staples the secure the head liner in that area

It does kinda look like hood lace but it kinda doesn't too. A better pic of the end would solve that. It looks flat on one side to me which would rule out hood lace but my eyes have played tricks in the past. flush
