Bumpers

Any on you guys ever heard of car parts wholesale and do they have good products? I am looking to get some new bumpers this was the cheapest place i found them.


Also what is the proper name of the window slides on each side of the window when you roll it down your arm rests on it. I think i found the right thing but want to make sure what they are exactly called.

Thanks fellas.

Sarge, I don't know anything about car parts wholesale, but this link here should help you with the weatherstripping. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=152939

I used them to buy the rings around my head lights. Awful experience! Will never deal with them again. I didn't get my products till I threatened fraud. I called and called and they told me I never made an order. I had to email them my recieat from my credit card. Took 10 weeks to finally get my stuff. Never talked to an English speaking American. All forign people. Stay away

Sarge if it's just the pieces that sit in the door that the window runs between, those are seperate pieces and can be had from JC Whitney for around $15 per pair. You don't have to do the whole thing.

KD 93 Okay thanks i was figuring that after i read some more after work on the sticky and looked at parts. Thanks for the info though.

It will be great to shut the door with the window down and not hear it giggle back and forth at least i hope that will fix it.

Thanks again.

Yes Sir. Like BC847 said in that writeup, it'll stop the jiggling for sure. I've got to replace my two windows because the metal underneath the felt/rubber strip has scored the glass so bad I can't see out of it properly! Best to do it just so you don't have more worries. Oh, not to mention the rust in the door now, from the water being able to fall all the way down in there.

are you lookin for NEW new or new to your truck?

I ask because I will be swapping my stock bumpers for some HD Reunels in December. The stock bumpers are in very decent shape (no rust), I just find them too flimsy.

well I tried to back into a very narrow parking space the other day and decided it was too close to call. while backing I had my eye on the car nearest me and never hit it, but when I gave up and pulled forward, the leading edge of my rear bumper caught the last 2' of the Audi. Put a nasty 18" crease in it but my bumper had zero damage. I know whose Audi it is (dam woman parked right on the line, which is why the open space was so narrow) and I'll have the damage fixed. Guess I'm glad I didn't have the HD Reunel bumper, which would have peeled her car open like a tin can

Yikes yeah seriously it would have been pretty bad probably. Sorry to hear that though and hope she wasnt too mad. Maybe the stock bumpers are stronger too than you thought

Hey Sarge, I've got my own little body shop and have always had good luck with Keystone automotive. They've got the bumpers, grille, chrome headlight bezels parking lights in the grille, etc. I myself have the grille lenses and front bumper and was very pleased with the quality and service. Hope this helps.
