Door seals and window gaskets

I went to have a couple windows replaced and the main door seal repaired yesterday but they told me that those rubber parts are not standard.



Anyone know where I could get window gaskets or the rubber door seal for a 72 Ward?

Jolly Roger you don’t think 19 years later he’d still searching for the gaskets? Some folks spend their whole life searching and never find

I always think post revival here is fun.. read back on the site years ago about how everyone freaked out when mechanical engines were getting hard to obtain.. "OMG electronics will be the end of us.. cant have a DT466E!"..

yea but they were right to worry as before electronic motors i never had a semi towed but after they went to the electronic engine controls i was towed a minimum of 2 times a year and some years up to 5 so my requirements when i went bus shopping 6 years ago were no electronic engine and no air brakes. and glad i did. 3 months before i retired i bet my buddy i would be on a hook 1 more time before i retired the electronic controller for the transmission just quit a week later and i was towed again. as i travel the highways i remember almost every spot i sat in waiting for a wrecker and thank my 3116 cat
