Avoid LMC's rubber and plastic products which are made overseas. Their rubber/plastic formulation sucks and doesn't hold up to UV and heat. It'll crumble or split over a short time period.

JBG is likely just a re-seller. Ask them from whom they buy their WS from and they'll prolly say DC.

I just finished a restoration this summer and had to buy all of this stuff. For some reason Broncoggraveyard doesn't show my order history. But I believe I ordered the door window weatherstripping from them and it worked fairly well. The main window stripping was a little loose in spots and I'm going to have to glue it here and there.
As for the windshield and rear window, I order the kit from LMC. I watched a professional install the front and rear windows for me and he said these strippings fit really good. He really liked them.
My truck won't ever see bad weather so I'm not too worried about the lifetime of the parts. I don't have much of an opinion on which company has the best quality when it comes to duration.

I got mine from Rockauto. I liked them. I was able to install wo removing the window glass.
When installing the long piece that goes on the upper window and down the back channel there are some kerfs cut to transition around that 90 degree section. Make sure you have that in the right spot. Ask me how I know.
