restoring 70 ford

For my 1972 F250 390 2wd auto factory hangon A/C:

I have ordered from our own MotorHaven before when there was a group purchas of the dash a couple of years ago. Got a few other odds and ends at the same time. Quality seems good.

I haven't ordered from JC Whitney. The Dennis Carpenter site seems like it would be good and as one post said they produce some of their own stuff from original Ford molds.

I am mainly looking for body rubber parts to reseal doors and windows, windshield visor parts, carpet, new or rebuilt A/C fan motor, maybe a few things my truck didn't have as OE, maybe the overhead set up for radio and speakers, and other stuff I can't think of now.

Thanks.
Joe

Well you guys are always beating people up for not searching the archives and starting a new thread when you are just continuing a previous thread!

So, what are sources of quality parts considering pricing also?

I ordered weather stripping for my doors on my 70 F-100 Custom and I they have not lasted 5 Years. WAS NOT WORTH IT.

Thanks you for pointing that out, You're correct

Searching is good (to a point).Then fresh info is considered good too.

Beware of cheaper products as enticing as they may be. I purchased door weatherstripping from one of the "Discount" mailorder places and after installing them, I could not get the doors to close correctly. The weatherstripping from some of these guys just won't work. I think you might be well pleased if you pay a little more and try Dennis Carpenter reproductions. Theirs will fit like original.
