windshield seals replaced were to buy

Hi newbie here, i would like to replace all the seals on my 5 window pickup, were is the best place to buy, can i buy all 5 in a pkg or do i have to buy each seal separatly? 1966 econo pickup windshield seal back window seal and the two corner glass seals, thanks, so far what i learned is carpenter is the only one that mfg that seal ?

I think you can get them from Tim aka EconoUSAparts

For now all I have are the new door seals. Carpenters dont fit right and cost more. Eventually I'll have cargo door seals and fixed window seals but for now just front doors and the 3 piece kit for the pop out windows on the vans.

Anywhere but Macs and Carpenters ...

What about the eBay item http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Econoline+windshield+seal&_sacat=0&_odkw=Econoline+rubber&_osacat=0 ???

Macs and others get their seals from Carpenter's. Carpenter's windshield seals and fixed body glass seals are ok to use, just dont use their door seals or vent window seals.

i see threre's one in nj, i may have to check into it soon thanks.

Yes Carpenter's are ok. Mac's and several others get their seals from Carpenter's and have some flexibility in what they charge so I'm told. Green Sales also sells the same seals at similar pricing as do several other obsolete parts dealers but they all come from Dennis Carpenter.

Hey Rudefish

You will get a lot of tips and maybe parts you need along with some valuable connections at the Gathering of Earlys Show on July 21st in Jackson, NJ.

You are so close...geoghaphically

the glass shop that i use to pull my glass for my resto projects said that they dont even bother putting seals in the windshields anymore. they said the suppliers seals are junk and leak. so they urethane them in like new windows, and put a rubber thing around the outside that looks just like an original seal. i'm gonna have them do mine that way. i dont know how many ecos and other older cars i have repaired rotted windshield areas for that were caused by leaking seals. i know it's not original, but neither is my van.
