Auto Body Specialties $ 79.00 So, anyone know if there's any significant difference between them or is one to be avoided like the plague ??

I wasn't playing favorites. As far as who makes them. Precision, who only sells wholesale, sells all the ones where you see the WCR or similar part number. I saw where Steele had a product announcement a back and said they made them now. I can't confirm that they actually DO but I'd be curious to know the truth and why they did. I'll touch base with my contact there to find out. www.DetroitMuscleTechnologies.com Mopar body and heater box restoration gaskets

The guy that took the windshield out (and happens to own the same car) says he can supply OEM gaskets and they fit properly. He felt the original was too hard for reuse. His prices are in line with everything else out there so I'll leave it to him when the time comes. Thanks for all the input.

To recommend use of a 40 year old gasket is poor advice...
