Door Weatherstripping
forgive me if i'm way behind on this, but i just saw that LMC truck has the door seal weatherstripping listed for our trucks this month for the first time i've noticed.
my door seals (and hinges) are shot, and i've read the threads on reconditioning the rubber by shoving surgical tubing through it. with me focused on other mechanical issues, i didnt have any plans to deal with these 'luxury' items any time soon, but its nice to know that the door seal rubber is out there now.

Yeah, LMC has had them for a while, but IMO the surgical tubing mod is still a good one because it reinforces the seal and provides a better, more durable seal for the doors.
Now if you could find some rear Crew Cab window beltline seals.... that would be something to celebrate!

Yep, that's them! Good luck finding some. Ford has discontinued them and there seems to be nobody in the aftermarket making them. The last ones I saw (on Ebay) were selling for close to $100 each side.

They are BELTLINE moldings and FORD can still get them. I just replaced mine on my crew cab in October.
As for the CRAP that LMC sells, I would MUCH rather keep my 16 year old originals and put surgical tubing in(which I did do)

well, with just a measly super-cab instead of crew cab, rear window parts don't concern me. the input on LMC seal quality is helpful, though.
when i finally get around to replacing my door pins - just put a big ole cross-beam in my barn to act as an overhead hoist anchor, but with one of the first uses to be that of door hanging support - i'll look into steele rubber for replacement seals.
