Weatherstrip kits

I am looking for a complete weatherstrip kit (front/rear glass, doors, windows, felts, etc) for 55-59. Who has decent weatherstrip kits, complete, one-stop shopping? I was looking at Classic Industries, they seam to have the only complete kit I can find. Called them to ask who makes them, they don't know. I looked at Soffseal, they have a kit, but doesn't really make it clear how complete it is, or it they include the vent windows. Steele seams double the cost.

What are others here using? Anyone tried the full kit from Classic Industries, or the Soffseal?

Re: Weatherstrip kits

I'd suggest from first hand experience, that you look at the company SOFF SEAL for your door weatherstripping. i'm not sure if they sell a complete set but using the replacement door weatherstripping caused me money and wasted time trying to just closing the doors. food for thought.

After I wrote this, Fred's Truck Parts posted an ad in the vendors forum for complete Precision kits:

I don't know about a company named steel stuffe, but Steele Products has them for $115 a pair. a link to their dimension is below. SoffSeal is a bit easier (my opinion) to work with but to each their own.

this is from steel products ($115)


soffseal is $75.00
