Try J.C.Whitney,Steele Rubber Products,and believe it or not your local Dodge dealer. Give them your vin# and be real nice to the parts counter guy lolol! Sometimes they can find the stuff.

 

see red marks...i have searched most of the major rubber mfgs to no avail.

 

Sorry,I will keep thinking of other places since I have the same truck and will eventually need the same thing. Good Luck and let me know if you find anything

 

I'm sure you younger folks have never heard of this old time secret method so I'll pass it along.

Remove the old chunk of rubber. Find a plastic bucket or pan large enough to place it in without breaking it by folding tightly. Estimate the required capacity of the bucket to immerse the rubber molding. Go to you local auto parts supplier, Wallymart, or where ever and buy enough old style brake fluid to cover the molding. Soak for one week or less and remove, wipe and air dry for a couple of days. This method has worked in reviving old hardened rubber moldings of 1930's & 40's Cadillacs, Packards, Chevies that I assisted during total restorations. Rubber replacements parts for these cars was not available in the 1970's. The results could vary based on the composition of the rubber so monitor your progress on a daily basis.

 

Go to a glass shop and look for something that will work. You will come up with something.
It just won't be stock. What about silicon.
I don't think Brake fluid will fix broken and cracked rubber.
TREBOR does not say it will.

 

thanks for the resto tips, it would probably work if i hadnt thrown the old ones away 7 months ago when i thought i bought new ones...still looking

 

moneytlks,

What about Metro Moulded Parts

 

they dont have much for our trucks but if i can find a set of good used ones i can check into having them reproduced by that company...thanks

james

 

does anyone have a set of used ones???

 

bump to the top! no-one has any old doors laying around with some seals they wanna get rid of???

james

 

Ouch... You tossed them! There is only one kind of used rubber that should be tossed. All else must be kept. Sorry, I never found new ones myself. Try jimsautopart.com or pm Mark Nelson.

 

there is a local guy around here that should have some , put a wanted add on Craigslist Vancouver bc and im sure he will respond . i dont have his number anymore
