Seems all Rock Auto has are window channels for Hudsons. No actual weatherstriping.

If you just need the generic trunk and door stuff JC Whitny has that.

Metro and Steele have some rubber product aswell.

I don't recall what they carried but they did have some Hudson stuff. I think I tried their website and also called them. Also, try a google search for Hudson rubber parts, etc. I seem to recall I found a couple other companies that came up... It's been a while since I did my searching.

Get in touch with Hudzilla, AKA Lance Walker. He may know of a place to get them.

seems to me that more than a few folks are looking for the same items,any links/or part #'s would be real helpful,,i thought the stuff JCwhitney would be a good choice but since ALL my seal/strips are long gone..{been stored since 1959}i don't even know what they look like.
i'm sure some has done this before me???

You hadn't heard that Doug Wildrick took over K-Gap's rubber business?

Has anybody ordered from him? good rep.?

Doug is highly recommended.
K-Gap is Kaput.

I just got window rubber from Wildrick Rubber WRPHET.com The right stuff and it's installed. Worked great.

Check out restorationspecialties.com also. They have a wide range of stuff.

Worldwide acclaim. Renewing clutches, restoring cars, performing roadside miracles on Hudsons, saving fair damsels in distress. And now, supplying the world with rubber.

Uncle Josh

All this talk 'bout rubber, reminds me of the fire that Uncle Josh tells about at the rubber company in Punkin Center. Ruben Hendricks, was up on the top floor and couldn't get down, so he wrapped a lot of rubber around himself and jumped. He hit the ground and bounced for 3 days, and they had to shoot him to keep him from starvin' t'death.
