Weatherstripping

I know Dennis Carpenter has good stuff, but just wondering where others have gotten all their weatherstripping from and how it worked. Windshield, back window, doors, etc.

I used DCs stuff on my 77, but just wanted to keep cost down on my 75 Supercab project. Thanks.

Could you elaborate on this? Possibly supply a pic or a link? I tore my door seals while installing new floor pans, not that I didn't need to replace them anyways. IF this worked out better and is cheaper, then let everyone know about it. We all like to save a buck.

I know that others here do not like LMC, but that is where I got my front, rear and side seals. Installed easily and no leaks so far.

Just ordered my from Classic Auto Parts.com
go to the ITEMS ON SALE tab then click on the link (middle of page) that says:
1948-79 Ford Pickup
This will load a PDF file (about 12 pages). Scroll though the listings to pp11.
Look for DOOR SEAL Kits "1973-79 F100/350 - D3TZ-20530-10A - $49.00"
I also bought the Anti-rattle kits for the Windows (both doors). Good prices I thought for OEM.
Sale is good until the 31st of Jan. So make up your mind soon.
