Weather strip 64-66 ?????????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

198plus · 08-02-2011, 04:01 PM

I've tried 2 different brands of weather strip for my doors with no luck, who sells the correct weather strip for a 65-66.

Thanks

I restored my 66 long fleet with the kit from truckandcarshop.com

Pages 54-58 I was very pleased with the quality and accuracy of the kit.
Good luck!

I've had Chevy Duty (now Classicparts) seals in mine for about 10 years and they work great. Very soft and spongy, flexible and seal well. I tried a set of Steele Rubber Products. These were rigid and inflexible, and could not be formed around the dogleg area. So I reinstalled the set that was 10 years old. I kept small pieces of the original rubber seals in the hopes I could someday find an exact duplicate. So far I have not found any manufacturer that makes a replacement seal with the exact same profile as what GM produced.

I used a set from GMC Pauls on my '69 that worked out great. I planned to do the same with my '66, not sure who made them, though.

Thanks for all the responses, I found some from JP Muscle cars late this evening that fit like a glove. They are made by Soffseal.

The soffseal ones you got were they specifically for your 60-66 truck or did you match something from another vehicle that fit better.

They where for 64-66.
