weather stripping on 1975

I need to get weather stipping replaced on the doors of my 75 F250. I read in the LMC magazine that they have a set for the Cab and a set for the doors.

Did they originally use a cab and door set of weather stripping? Should I use both sets or just try the cab set?

So does my 75. I got a bit confused when the LMC parts catalog showed a set for cab and door. I dont really want to buy both sets if one set will work....

Maybe I'll buy both, try things out and see. My only other question is, with both sets, will the doors shut properly???

from what I have seen, the door set includes the stuff that goes around the windows.

I have a 79 F150, I need the rubber around the door window vent, and the weather strip between the outside door pannel and the glass. Where is the best place to get these?
Thanks,
John24255

check out the sponsor list here. Many places carry that stuff.
Macs should have it, and Jeffs broncograveyard amongst others.

John....
People my laugh, but I got ALL my weatherstripping at JC Whitney. It fits perfectly and costs less than LMC. I got...
--Door strips (that go around the cab and seal the doors to the cab)
--Windows Channels (these go around the front-top-rear of the roll-down window)
--Anti-Ratler Blet Strips (these are steel-cored strips that go at the bottom of the roll-down window)
--Vent Window Strips (that go around the vent windows)

They also have stripping for the windshield and the rear-window. These made a huge difference in my 78 F150.

kc5hwb,
I have purchased a few items from JCW. I bought a convertable top from them about two years ago. Naturally, after I did, someone told me a less expensive place to by the same thing.

Some of JCW's rubber parts can get a bit pricey, so I was wondering if someone found a better place?
Thanks,
John24255

Back when Ford made these strips, they quoted me $150/door. With JC Whitney, I got them for about $100/door. So I thought that was rather good. But that was about 2 years ago.

Talking Weather Strip

one can always try National Parts Depot or just plain E-bay they always have them, go to e-bay motors, parts and accessories, when that window comes up, just type in 73-79 ford truck and you will see them.






And remember, if you have a problem with cow theft, get an imooooobilser
