Who sells the best weather stripping?

I have a 72 c-10, I'm looking to replace ALL the rubber the window seals, belt moldings, front and rear window seals, the door seals everything pretty much lol. Any idea with who sells the best weather stripping?

Re: Who sells the best weather stripping?

My personal favorite has always been Soft Seal but I don't think I've ever seen it offered for our trucks (haven't really looked though).

Maybe wander over to our Vendors area and look at their products, ask questions, etc... Vendors Marketplace

These guys really know our trucks and can advise you as to quality.

Re: Who sells the best weather stripping?

I can tell you what NOT to buy....I just got my truck back from the paint shop to find the BRAND NEW rubber is already cracking! The truck never spent a day outside and I am really unhappy about having to take everything back apart and install new rubber....I can tell you one thing: I WON'T EVER BUY RUBBER FROM LMC AGAIN!

I hear softseal is good, that's going to be my replacement.

I second that on GMC Pauls. I ordered the door weatherstripping with the press in type, have not installed it yet, but did play with it on the truck. nice fit.
