Which ones do you need?
There are a handful of NOS weatherstrips out there, but they're few and far between. No one repops any of the 4 door or wagon weatherstrips. I recently bought almost every 71-up b-body sedan/wagon weatherstrip I could find to use on my 73 Dodge wagon resto and/or to save as extras. I'm keeping mine, but if I know which ones you need, I might be able to point you in the right direction.

There was a vendor that had 1 or 2 of the door weatherstrips left. I'll look it up when I get home.
As far as tailgate stuff, there's not much left. I bought everything I could find. Frank Mitchell has 1 set of outer tailgate seals (l/r) listed on Ebay for $275, and they won't budge on the price. Those have been for sale there for quite a while.
I called several vendors to find my stuff, and most of them had nothing, or had 1 piece here or 1 piece there. Arizona Parts has lots of obsolete stuff, though not much left with regard to weatherstrips.

I have started a discussion with Steele Rubber about reproducing the doors and tailgate weather stripping.
Once I have my car at home, I will see the exact condition of the parts on it and can go from there.
Mike (not_a_charger), if you have spares, would you be willing to work together on this?
Thanks,
Mike.

Restoration Specialties is 20 mi from me.I gave them my 62 Savoy wagon rear quarter glass gasket as a pattern eleven years ago,three months later they had them finished and gave me a set for the use of mine as a pattern.Call them and ask for Dave JR,you may be surprised.I have furnished them with more than one pattern item for reproduction.They are a manufacturer for a "lot" of their products,not a middleman vendor.

Grab a cross section of what you need and then take a look through this universal list here http://www.soffseal.com/store/main.aspx?p=PictureListBody&c=UNEXI bought 50 feet of E145 last year. Fits all the doors on my 1978 B. Almost exactly the same shape and structure as OEM, although in my opinion it is a little on the floppy/soft side. But for less than a hundred bucks, and the impossibility of finding sedan and wagon weather strip, I'll take it. The only real problem is you have to punch the clip holes yourself and that's a time consuming job. Money or time, money or time I think they'll send you a foot sample if you want, or even if you have to pay for it you're talking less than 10 bucks
Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know

Try Top Catwhiskers, ph.814-467-9842. Got all the window felts and door seals for my `68 wagon from them for around $400. Not including the rear gate.

+1 for these guys for wagon rubber bits. I got my lower tailgate seal and the internal window seal (bottom of the window to the top of the tailgate window opening) for my 67 for a reasonable price, nobody else had those parts.
