Just got the original cap back

I just got the original cap back for my 77 F-250. Structurally it is in good shape with a little crack in the front part of the shell, I was wondering if there is a company that makes the gaskets for the side windows and the rear door as they are leaking into the shell when it rains. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Nope.

No topper replacement parts.

You might head to the FTE vendor forum and see my posts in the Obsolete parts thread

Dennis, if you can send me a sample of the rubber weatherstrip you need, I'll drive out to the place in Santa Monica that makes 1000's of rubber extrusions, and see if they have it.

This outfit once made all the weatherstrips for Harrah's Auto Collection.

I can't recall the name of the place, but I know exactly where it is.
