Got around to pricing new rubber restoration parts for my 52 Willys Overland 4x4 pickiup truck. All the bits and pieces for new window and door rubber parts is between 6 and 8 hundred bucks. I have to plant, grow. pick and shell and sell a ton of pinkeye purple hull peas just to buy new rubber parts for my jeep restoration.

Seems like the restoration business has exploded with parts available and prices to match. Shouldn’t complain much I suppose as we can restore more vehicles and machines than before and suppliers should be able to make a living also.

Ken, please post pictures of your Jeep pickup. My dad had a 1963 Willys Jeep pickup. It was one of the first four wheel drive vehicles around here. It had a six cylinder overhead cam engine with hemi pistons and a Holley carburetor. I drove it for a couple years during college when the roads were bad. Mom got rid of it after dad passed away. Supposedly it ended up going to California to a restoration person. I never got any contact information though.

I got my restoration rubber parts from rubber the right way. They were pretty fair priced and the few parts I bought fit very well.

There's a guy in Toledo OH that supposedly has any Jeep parts you need. Did you go to any of the Jeep forums and look for vendors? There are a lot of them out there.

If you wanted to build a year old truck, it'd probably cost you about $200,000 in parts. Nothing is cheap anymore....
