Best Place to buy 56F100 Parts

Im looking for seals (doors/windows), stainless steel bed strips, rear bumper and brackets. Reproductions all all over, but realize some are better than others. Can you sell me where is the best place to buy these.

For seals, there is none better than Steele Rubber. They are more expensive than the other purveyors, but much higher quality.

Regards, Mark.

This is strictly my opinion, but the best answer is, there is no best answer.

Some venders are better in some areas, while others are better in others.

And some parts are just junk, no matter where you get them.

Im about to by several pieces for my 56 F100 Custom Cab Big Window. Mostly Rubber, Fender to body, Windshield, rear Window Door/Window/Vents rubber and felts etc. I'm thinking about purchasing from LMC Truck Products. Would appreciate any comments on this company and experiences with their products. Thanks in advance.

I tnink Steele Rubber, while more expensive, is a far superior product. I do remember some posts here, however, which claimed that Steele sourced some rubber goods from other suppliers, or maybe it was the other way around.
In any event, happy shopping!

The parts I've bought from Steele Rubber were pricey and worth it. LMC is average quantity and resells pieces from Dennis Carpenter and Vintique along with typical Chinese repop sources. Okay house but watch the shipping costs with with them.

I have bought the same item from the same vendor and found variances in the form/fit/quality between each...it's a crap shoot in most cases.
