I need to replace the window felt in the doors I am using to replace the rust ridden ones with on my 83' 1ton. Any tips on who to purchase from?

Bought mine from GM.

Ditto GM. I bought aftermarket felts and run channels and they were made to thick, resulting with a narrow track for the window glass to run in, resulting in slow power windows.

tucsonjwt, did you go ahead and leave the felts in or did you replace them?

I bought from classicparts.com.
Much better prices than LMC, fast shipping, and nice quality parts.
I also just got door weatherstriping for the wife's '66 from them.
They are also nice quality pieces. I have yet to install them though.

How much for the stuff from GM?

I'm going from memory, but I think I paid about $50 for each of the window runs for the doors from GM. Just got the outer belt moldings today, both of those set me back about $100 in all.

Randy, do you have the GM part numbers for the run channels and window felts (for my 83 C20)? Thanks.
