Does anyone know where I can get windshield gaskets for my 1977 C8000? My local glass shop told me I have to source them myself, but I'm not having much luck.

 

TWO different types of windshield weatherstrips, see upper parts catalog pic.

1957/86 C/CT550/900 (C8000 is a C800 w/a diesel engine):

2) D3HZ-6003110-A (replaced B7T-9103110-A) .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use without windshield reveal mouldings / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

There's one on ebay with this Ford part number (listed as: D3HZ6003110A), it says Freightliiner, but why I don't know.

Seller is: Find It Parts located in Los Angeles CA

2) D3HZ-6003110-B (replaced B7T-9103110-B) .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use with windshield reveal mouldings / Obsolete

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. No one on ebay has any.

If you don't have the mouldings, you can use either weatherstrip, but AFAIK, no one reproduces either.

These weatherstrips have been hard to find for at least 10 years.

 

I got windshields and new rubbers for my '59 C600 from A-Star 509-467-6809. I had them the next business day, they are local to me.

 

I just picked up a windshield gasket/weather stripping set from a local auto glass guy. I plan to install new glass today on my 74,C8000.

 

Thanks for the info, it may be helpful someday.
Can I ask where you got the glass?

Hey Tim, I used Auto Glass Service. The closest shop is 1.5hrs from me so I ordered and pick up myself. I hope to have this done this evening. Below are the part numbers they looked up and ordered for me, I hope it helps you out.

Thanks, I've been meaning to stop at my go to glass place, but have enough irons in the fire right now. Just glad you were able to find somebody to help and the glass is out there someplace.

Gives me encouragement.

Finished the windshield swap. Now it's time to find a different driveshaft and a flat dump bed.

 

Wow! Looking good!

 

Thank you.
