Where do you guys recommend getting door weatherstrips , and other major weatherstrip and seals like windshield and rear window.

LMC also has them but Numberdummys guy may be cheaper.. Either way order yourself a free LMC catalog, gives you an idea of what things run and its a very detailed catalog..

 

You need to come to this thread and do a little reading. HIO worked hard on this. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post14955940

I used Jeffs Bronco Graveyard and are very happy with their product. LMC is not a FTE sponsor, some vendors offer a FTE member discount (I do believe so anyway) so shop around. I use LMC as the last resort due to lack of quality in there reproduction parts. You get what you pay for IMO. Pay the cheapest prices and get the cheapest product.

“The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

 

AVOID LMC Truck when it comes to rubber/foam products... their formulation (or the Taiwanese/Chinese company that makes them) doesn't hold up to heat and UV exposure and will crack, split, or fall apart in a few years.

Ask me how I know.....

 

Most of the parts that LMC sells are Made In China CRAP! This is the reason why LMC is usually cheaper than every one else.

You get what you pay for, buy the best and cry only once.

And, LMC's catalogs are rife with errors and omissions. Their VIN decode info is as worthless as teats on a mule.

When you have a repro parts seller like LMC that sells Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford parts, minimum wage no nothing clucks that take the orders, what the hell would you expect, a concerto?

 

How about Steele products? Weather stripping and windshield and rear window seals are not something I want to be cheap on.

I started replacing the door weatherstriping / seals on my truck today and while I was taking off all the old stuff I cut out a good piece about 6 inches long with a razor knife to get a good cross section comparison between the old stuff and the new seals I got from Dennis Carpenter, the old stuff is alot bigger/ fatter than the D.C seals which are smaller. Before I glue them in are the skinnier weatherstrips going to work and seal up properly ? Anyone had this problem before or is this a problem ?
Thanks , Gene
