C1UB-8903110-A .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use without Mouldings. GREEN SALES has 3 of these.
C1TB-8103110-B .. Windshield Weatherstrip-Use with Mouldings. GREEN SALES = ZERO.
Some of the w/strips sold today are made in China and are pure unadultrated crap.
You get what you pay for.
Old adage: Buy the best, and cry only once.
Besides Green Sales (800-543-4959), I also looked at Dennis Carpenters NOS online obsolete parts webpage = zero on both (this is not his repro parts site).
I've never bought any aftermarket repro w/strips, so I cannot advise you on who makes the best ones.
EDIT: Both weatherstrips are no longer available from FoMoCo.

NOS = New Old Stock

If you go to dennis-carpenter.com, on his home page there's a banner with several options. One says: NOS Parts. Clicking on that takes you to his NOS parts webpage. Besides repro parts, DC also sells new old stock Ford obsolete parts.
If you go to DC's place in Concord NC, when you walk in the door, the first thing you see are old candy store oak display cases chock full of ORIGINAL, NOS GENUINE FORD PARTS. It's a treat for your eyes, but not for your wallet!
At greensalescompany.com, you type in the original Ford part number...if they have it, the quantity will be shown.
At DC, you type in a one or two word description, in this case, I typed weatherstrip, then hit search.
What appears are the actual Ford part numbers, dozens of them. If ppl don't know what those part numbers translate to...they're SOL.

NOT!
Where did I make any such comment(s)?
I was merely pointing out how DC's online NOS obsolete parts webpage worked.
And the fact that they have dozens of NOS obsolete parts on display.
There's no ceiling on what anyone can charge for obsolete parts. Ppl know they're gonna have to "step up" if they want specific parts that are no longer available, or repro'd.
I spent nearly 3 grand at DC's in June 2004. I left his place a happy camper.
Besides the usual repro parts he sells, I finally found several hard to find NOS parts for my two 1963 Galaxies that no one else had.
I'll be there again in May...looking for more NOS...there's no such thing as a restored car...once the last thing is done, it's time to start all over again.
btw: I've never been to Cincinnati, so I've never been to Green Sales. I called Green Sales several times a week for over 30 years, looking for obsolete parts for customers.
Now, I do the same thing here, but ppl here aren't my customers, so I don't make a cent on any parts that are found.

Hey Bill...In noticing the p/n I noticed that its a U #...E series...I had thought the E and F series w/shield and rubber were different...
I saw a NOS w/shield rubber on ebay a cpl weeks ago and called the guy on the p/n as it was a U number...he corrected me but Im still scratching my head as Im pretty sure the glass is different between the 2...what pops into my head is the E series cab forward trucks from 61 to 7 as I recall...just looks different to me from my memory as a good friends dad had one yrs ago.

I just received shippment of a windshield gasket yesterday from DC. $40 part +$10 shipping. I ordered it from the website. It is the type without groove for trim. I plan to have the windshield installed by late next week and I will let you know what the installer says about the gasket.
Part #C1UB-8903110-A (I hope it is the correct one)

The glass itself is different (C6UZ-8903100-A-tinted / B-clear vs C6TZ-8103100-C-clear / D-tinted), but, as you can see...the weatherstrip is the same.
