Best door weatherstripping
 
Who has the best weather stripping for between the doors and cab? I'm considering getting it from LMC and or Chevy Duty but Steele Rubber products also has these too. The stuff from Chevy Duty doesn't look like the stuff I took off my truck. They sell it in a roll and I was always under the impression that these were formed pieces. Anyone have a better supplier?

i just ordered Chevy Duty - LMC was twice the $$$ - Chevy Duty was $30 for both doors, LMC is $30/door.

I've heard that JCWhitney sells weatherstripping for these trucks. Those that use it say it's thicker the the others. It's been a while, but Steele Rubber Products had a good reputation in the rodding industry. I haven't heard how their weatherstripping works in these trucks.

Softseal is a good brand. Not sure where you can get it or if they make it for our trucks.

I have the JC Whitney weather strips. Very thick!! I used the window felts too. No complaints here.

I no this strage but I was cliping a f##d Focus and the new rear clip came with all the weather strip and me short of cash I kept the weather strip. I put it in my truck and it works great it has metal in side so you dont have to use glue and thers a lip on the in side that the cab trim snaps right on to I just had to add 1 1/2 feet at the bottom of the door. No air leaks. Matt

Hmm, sounds good guys. IIRC, the factory stripping that came off my '74 had a wire mesh inside it also to help it stay on and it wasn't glued on to the cab. I thought all weather stripping had this mesh in it. Thanks for your replys!
