Best place to buy complete weatherstripping kit?

[joshd1971bronco]

I've been searching for 'complete' weatherstrip kits - I'm doing a complete frame-off resto/mod so I need it all.

Surprisingly, I can't seem to find a vendor that lists a kit as 'complete' or all inclusive. Is there one? Seems like LMC's offering was promising - $199 and includes just about everything.

Is that everything?

Anyone know of a 'one-stop-shop' solution?

Check out dennis-carpenter.com I have been happy with what I have bought from them. I went on a tour of thier facility at the carolina broncos meet and greet , American made products from a company that is doing alot to support the restourations of old fords They do make a special three corner windshield gasket though.

i got the 13pc set from TBP. i wasnt totally excited by the setup. my goal was to seal up the existing gaps. i installed the strips in a garage. few days later i went out into the sunlight and saw i had more gaps than before. it even whistled at me! the sun at the right angle, made me think about the side visors.
i understand that TBP is a retailer and not the mfgr of these items, but i really expected more than i got. problem is when i took the old ones off...i threw em in the trash.

lesson learned DONT THROW AWAY THE OLD STUFF FOR AT LEAST A WEEK!

please let me know which ones are the best

If I remember correctly, the Dennis Carpenter seals are supposed to be the best fitting, with the understanding that Broncos don't fit together really well from the beginning, of course (a good reason to tighten big gaps with extra metal when doing a complete frame-off). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Everything I've gotten from Carpenter so far is super nice.

I thought Dennis Carpenter was like JC Whitney, until some items I ordered from well known vendors showed up and were in Dennis Carpenter packaging. I figure to just go with the source. I've been happy with all the weather stripping I've ordered from them.

I used LMC and have had serious regrets.

Thanks for the replies. I checked out Dennis Carpenter but they don't seem to have a straightforward kit. It looks like there's a kit to get the windshield, door rubber, top to bed seal, and top window rubber, but it doesn't include cowl lacing and such I don't think.

Anyone have a good part number for DC? Maybe I should call Tom's or WH's and see if they have a complete kit or something.

I'm leery of LMC cuz of what rwill says. What was the issue rwill?
