[charlie81980]

getting reading to replace all my weather strip, seals, plugs etc. dont know where to buy from. dennis carp, obsolete, blue oval, NPD??? any suggestions. i dont want to buy garbage. thanks

[fordman]

i have heard that lmc has bad rubber.

[mrtleavitt]

Yes I have LMC weather stripping that's only about 3 years old and I have air leaks everywhere. I'm looking to replace them again so I will definitely follow this thread to see what everyone has to say.

[charlie81980]

I have heard LMC has more complaints then anything. dennis carp. prides themselves on original tooling and ford backed parts, NPD looks like they put together a quality catalog and haved a lot of fine detail parts. obsolete seems to be good too. but with an entire website dedicated to out trucks i would think plenty of guys/girls would know where to buy the best weather strip or interior or sheet metal etc.

[fordman]

i have bought any yet. someone will come along soon who has.

[BobbyFord]

Dennis Carpenter.

[charlie81980]

thats what i was moving towards. dennis or NPD

Charlie, I've used Dennis carpenter door gaskets on three different bumpsides, and they were great, other than I had to slam the crap out of the doors to get them to shut after installing them....

Guys,
I got mine from an ebay seller who lists them as "origin from a major truck parts source". There was no brand name tag on my door gaskets but they worked out nicely. It's been over 90 days since I bought them so I can't verify the seller.
Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-196 ... ccessories

Maybe do a search on evilbay for our door gaskets, I do remember the same seller having lots of door gaskets.

thanks joe and basket.

NPD is crap as well, I have the master kit installed, other than the windshield and back glass rubber seals, everything is cracking and leaked from the start. I have had mine installed for less than a year.

[BiggDogg]

I have BOTP weather stripping on mine, installed it about 3 years ago. So far no problems.

[charlie81980]

thanks for the headsup darrman. i will keep them in mind biggdogg..... seems like aftermarket cant make the parts like they use too!!
