Best supplier for weatherstripping

[goregalore]

I could really use some help.

I have a 68 GMC C2500.
I need to replace all the weather stripping and seals in my truck before the rust takes over.
What is the best company to buy these supplies, and Rocker panels from.
I see alot of companies carry them, but not all company's products are equal.

Gore,

For doors, I've read here that a lot of people have used Dodge Dakota weatherstripping. It's not "correct", but they say it fits like a glove with no adhesive necessary.

This post has a reference to it, available from board vendor GMC Paul's.

Go to the salvage yard and get the door weatherstrips. '86-'96 Dodge Dakota. You can find some nice ones for 10 bucks or less.... Take a phillips screwdriver, hammer, small pry bar, and a pick tool for cleaning out the heads on the phillips screws in the sill plate.

Already mentioned by Regular Guy in post #2. Depends on whether you want to spend 10 bucks or 50 bucks.

I was lucky enough to get rockers and cab corners from a local guy, they were tri-plus and they fit well.

I am sure some of the board vendors carry them, hopefully some one will post that info.

To the best of my knowledge it is not in the FAQ forum.

Mike Sorry I forgot to mention you!! Personally I only like the factory style weatherstrip and Soffseal is my choice. To me putting Dodge weatherstrip on one of my trucks I might as well put Dodge hubcaps on it also! LOL!
