Need some recomendations on door/window parts...

Alright guys... time to do some door maintenance on the truck. Which vendors would you recommend for window channel / felt / rubber etc. on my '79. I want the good stuff that actually fits right and seals like it should. I'd rather spend the extra $ the first time for quality than replace crap parts a few months down the road. Let me know who's got the good stuff... and who to avoid. Thanks in advance for your experience & knowledge!

I used LMC they were ok as long as you have the thinner windows

I was really pleased with the service and parts I received from GMCPaul's.

If you go LMC and have a 81-87 truck beware if you plan on doing your vent windows too. LMC lists only a one piece rubber for vent windows 81-87, but 81-85 had a two piece seal. Found out the hard way after i dismantled the window after I got the seals. Brothers is another place to get the correct vent window rubbers.
