I found someone who says they have or can make weatherstripping.
restorationspecialties.com

This is the E-mail.
The only thing that I would do is to actually talk to the guy/ company. Because I sent the e-mail on sept 26th and didnt get a response till Oct 29th.

Hello!

I am in the middle of restoring a 78 Chevy LUV and I am need of some body mounts and bolts, can you help?

Thanks for your time,

Erron

Call them. They are good people. You tell them LUV and they know the weatherstripping to send you. I just installed it into my 4X4 yesterday, and I did my 80 a while back. It works well. You have to cut and glue to make the 90 at the top of the window, but that's the only hard part.

As for window channel. I sent them a piece out of my truck. They sent me 3 close choices to figure out which one fit best. I have it figured out but have not called to order any of it yet. If you want the part numbers, let me know. I can give them to you. I would do it now, but it's out in the garage, and I'm in for the night.

Yeah they make great weatherstripping. I ordered enough for 2 trucks back in the Spring. You have to call them. Their service was speedy too. I didn't do a 90 cut on my door corner, I just went right around the bend with it. Should I have cut it? I really wanted to try to keep it all one piece to avoid having issues with it coming apart at the corner.

i still like the 70/80's dodge d-50 , mitsubishi.. it already has the sharp corner, fits right in and is just a hair bigger wich eliminates wind noise and almost every one i have found is still like new unlike the luv ones

I must have missed somthing about Luv restoration.com, I see they have been closed for a long time. But when I was doing my 79 4x4 I ordered door weatherstripping from them and was very happy with it. But I guess there gone...

Fresh weather strip would be sweet .

LUV restorations has come and go a a time or two.

The seals I got are from a place that just makes and sells seals and seal parts for everything. Here's a link.....

I had a neighbor in Port Angeles, Wa. that specialized in aircraft and older vehicle weatherstripping. He told me he had a website and what not, I think he even showed me his shop at one time.
He even had to get his Nova or Chevelle out of our garage when we moved into the house that he was working on.

I didnt have my LUV back then, but man I sure wish I could remember his name now.

I installed window channel from Restoration Specialties tonight. Nice fit, easy to do. Window is tight and goes up and down smooth. They should have the part # in their system if you call them.
They shipped enough for 3 trucks to me for $82.00.

The part number is AS-1264.

An order was just placed to Restoration Specialities by phone. Their number for the door weatherstripping is #990021. It takes 24 feet to do both doors and runs $2.00 per foot. An email was sent yesterday with the response to call the order in today. They are sending samples of chrome lock strips for the front windshield also. Hopefully they have a match.

Thanks for the heads up on the window weatherstrip!

I could use some myself!
