I need to replace the dry rotted and cracked windshield gasket and found one at DennisCarpenter.com, says it will fit all '61 - '66 F100 - F1100s.
There are TWO different types of windshield weatherstrips!

I also need to replace the glass run channels, division bar & anti-rattle strips as well as door weatherstrips. Weatherstrips are listed for all models, but couldn't tell on the glass runs, bar and anti-rattle parts.

Best online parts resources/recommendations for this series truck? I know about Dennis Carpenter, LMC, & Blue Oval Truck Parts, any others?

Standard cab and that's the Carpenter gasket I looked at.

The following Ford part numbers are listed in Dennis Carpenter's 1957/66 truck repro parts catalog. 800-476-9653 ~ Call and order the puppy, it's free.

Already done, just not here yet.

C1TB-8103110-B .. Custom Cab Windshield Weatherstrip-Use with w/shield reveal mouldings / 1961/66 F100/1100 / 1963/69 N/NT/T500/1000 / 1967/69 F800/1000 / Reproduced.

C1UB-8903110-A .. Standard Cab Windshield Weatherstrip-Use without w/shield reveal mouldings / Same applications as above, also 1961/67 Econoline / Reproduced

All the other w/strips: door, vent window, window channel, inner/outer belt (anti-rattle), division bars are the same: 1961/66 F100/1100 / 1963/69 N/NT/T500/1000 / 1967/69 F800/1000.

Good info, this wasn't indicated on Carpenter's website.

The back glass w/strip also has the same applications except 1961/63 F100/250 Uni's with the wraparound back glass.



Carpenter's weatherstrips are made by him in the US of A / Some of the other repop sellers (not sure who) buy the w/strips from Carpenter, then sell them to you / Others sell made in China weatherstrips.

Knew this, however, not all of Carpenter's weatherstrips are made in the US. I learned this when restoring a '75 F250. There's a disclaimer to that effect in the catalog that plainly states, "With a lot of our parts, we reached a point where we could no longer make them in the USA and still maintain competitive pricing. We were actually losing money on some items and barely making a profit on many others. The only way to continue offering these items at a reasonable price was to make them overseas." If the item doesn't have the "Quality Assured Parts Made in USA" logo more than likely they aren't. I've ordered the same part from LMC and Carpenters only to find they were the exact same overseas made junk (identical packaging, part numbers, "Made in China" label, etc.), so shop carefully and ask questions before ordering.

There's an old saying: Buy the best and cry only once.

Amen.
