Re: [ihc] Windshield gaskets

---It might be a deluxe interior package like my `78 had. I too had the
chrome sticker on the weather-stripping seals for the windshield, side
windows and liftgate. Might also have been something that came with
stainless steel trim for the door windows which I also had/have.

---I have seen the seal at numerous places, but don't have any links saved
for you. You might just try a collision repair shop and see if they have
something available. JC Whitney says that if you send in a piece of your
weather-stripping, they will match it as best they can. Would have to
contact them and see if they even carry this component, it wasn't only used
on IHs.

Subject: [ihc] Windshield gaskets


> Does anyone know why some IH's used a windshield gasket that has the
plastic chrome insert and others did not? I use to think that it had
something to do with the trim package but the truck that I am fixing has all
the available trim and just has the plain rubber gasket. Then I buy a normal
plain jane 71 t-all. It has the chrome in the gasket. I have seen a 73
pickup online and it too has the chrome in the gasket. Can anyone explain?
At this point it seems completely random.
