Weatherstripping applications by year?

Hi All

I’m finding it hard to find weatherstripping for ‘73 W200

anyone know if ‘74 - ‘80 has different body details making that era unusable?

thanks

I would think 1972 through 1980 would be the same. Possibly 81-93 for certain items. I do think cab glass (windshield, rear) changed either thickness or circumference in some way that required a change in seal thickness, but I'm not certain.

I think other things changed during the span that may effect what pieces a "kit" might offer. Hoods, hood latch/release come to mind. The rear upper lip of the cab changed in 81 (I think just on regular cabs. Crews/clubs may not have.)

I would think that most Mopar cars of that era would use door weatherstripping of the same profile & could possibly be purchased in rolls & cut to fit. But with Chrysler logic sometimes was missing.

A possible place to look for information online is sites that cover the 78-79 Lil Red Express trucks. Those seem to have the best support for aftermarket & restoration components.

Also look on ramchargercentral.com

I'm a member of that forum. It covers 72-93 Dodges very well.
