I need to replace just about all the weather stripping for my newly acquired 76 where would be the best place with the best pricing to purchase from, I tried a search and there is nothing real recent on who has the best pricing.

Thanks

I just ordered all new weatherstriping for a project from tom's. Door, tailgate/liftgate, top to bed rail and windshield. I also included new rubber bumpers for the tailgate/liftgate. All including shipping was around $380. No too bad considering.

none of it is very good and most of it will not ever set up righ in the corners and it allmost all will come loose if you drag a foot across it whe n you get in or out. All of it will come with a wet coat of some kind of silicone stuff that you have to sit and clean with laquer thinner.

I just installed all of the liftgate and tailgate rubber( just 3pieces), got it from The graveyard. I had to clean up all the mounting surfaces with an gasket scrapper, then wiped clean. I bought 3-M. Black weatherstripping adhesive and carefully applied as directed, to the metal surface and to the rubber. The piece that actually mounts to the bed didn't need adhesive because there is a metal strip that holds it down. I am very happy so far. I plan to order my window felts and door seals from them.
I just got the lmc catalog and they seem to charge more but it's a nice glossy catalog:)
