1973-79 Ford Truck Door Windows And Seals Install

This is a How To video for the doors of the 1973 - 1979 Ford "Dentside" Truck. We install the big window, wing window, and all weather stripping, door and window seals. Parts are from LMC Truck

[@justinhoff4974]

This helped so much. I’m re painting my 78 f150 and didn’t know how much of a pain the seals were going to be. This reassures me that I can do it. Thank you

[@TorxGarage]

extremely helpful, thanks for these videos. First one I watched from the seal manufacturer wanted to drill out the rivet on the vent window. makes a whole lot more sense this way. And didn't know about the outer door seal, getting those now.

[@jeffpearson6498]

Sold my Acura MDX and bought a 1978 F150 for my daily driver. Videos are awesome and perfect for me as I am a beginner and you make the jobs not so scary and fun. Great job and thank you tons!

[@jacksmith-tp7mn]

Timing is everything! I'm just getting ready to install new seals complete like you just did.only on a 1979 f150 460 ci auto. Glad I found your video, your tips would keep me from getting frustrated and now make this go much smoother and faster without breaking anything. As we say in my 43 years of maching at Boeing " There is nothing that can't be overcome with brute force", but patience has its virtues. As the robot in "Short Circuit" said, temper, temper TEMPER! Thanks again "The Wildcard"

[@Aeropro_Detailing]

Thank you! I just bought a ‘74 F250 and all of the window rubber is shot, this video is a godsend!!!

[@daveb6386]

Fantastic video! My girlfriend and I needed to get out in the fresh air today and drove my 79 bronco to a lake in the desert near us. When we hit the washboards the windows were rattling so bad we couldn’t hear each other. I ordered the anti-rattle kit as soon as we got home. Luckily I found your video and now I know I can get it done! Thanks again.

[@mikestombock313]

28 minutes we’ll spent very helpful wish he restored my 73 hi boy .. Steve you are doing what you were born to do I hope your business gets better every year

[@shaunobrien4041]

Thank you from Australia, very helpful

[@jensvoiceforyou7581]

Thank you for posting this! I have a 1969 Ford truck and I'm a NEWBIE! I have had some struggles, but I appreciate your help. My window is SUPER tight in the new weather stripping and I can't get the top screw in with the wing window...yep...newbie! Anyhow - thank you so much - it helped a ton!

[@fsctrucking]

Great, glad it helped.

[@mariomiotti1]

thank man! this helped me complete my window reinstall, i spend an hour staring at the door's interior, could not figure it out lol then found your video! cheers

[@leeB0nes]

Thank you for taking time to video and post this! I'm restoring my dads F150 and this is where i'm at!

[@dorianfulton7168]

Thank you VERY much for adding the passenger outside door seal to the video. I have been stuck with very loud wind noise on my 76 on the upper parts of the door. Ordering from LMC asap.

[@polyx220]

I enjoyed watching your video. I'm about to work on my 75 F100 and do the weatherstripping (amongst other things). This was very helpful. Thanks !!

[@brianspellman9646]

Your video is a big help. I have a 1976 Ford Econoline that needs new door glass and rubber.

[@jedk9523]

do u know how much this helped me? this helped me get a soggy f350 extended cab with no windows back on the road and drive it as a daily, THANKS YOU!!!!11

[@robtzg]

Love your style. Good stuff. I did all this a couple of years ago 76 Australian truck. Wish i'd seen this first would have saved me a bunch of time. Subscribed!

[@MrSnapper1d]

A good no bullshit video that got right down to business and gave all the tips on how to do.Good video i hit the subscribe and rang the bell.I have a 73 f100 and need to work on it.I rebuilt the C6 and a 390 for it .I just have done the doors and stuff on the insides.I am a mechanic not a body man so I need to watch all of your pointers on it.

[@royreid3335]

Steve thank you so much for this. I have a 73 F100 and I struggle sometimes with the simple things like this. Please keep the truck work on video. I need it lol.

[@sikrandall83]

Good video, dudes fingernails are the gnarliest I've ever seen

[@fsctrucking]

I'm a mechanic, not a hand model.

[@autoglass209]

I always liked this particular body style along with two other's. Good work @FSCSpeedShop

[@andrewgonzalez5232]

[@paulmurrin7286]

Very helpful video. Thanks for your help sir.

[@MrMariow01]

Thank you this is what I was looking for, you did perfect, very nice to find this video.

[@bondservant1982]

Thank you for the video. Very informative. I drive a 76 F100 SB. Plan on changing all the cab seals this spring.

[@forresthenderson4431]

very good information THANK YOU

[@alvaradoscustoms5827]

Thank you for the great video now I can change them on my 77 ford f250

[@jasonmartin3451]

awesome tutorial, thanks 👍

[@angelfanaro9571]

Great video, thank you for the video.

[@CrazyForFlint]

Awesome video. Thanks for the info and tutorial. Helped me on my 79.

[@fsctrucking]

Glad to hear. Gotta keep the old classics alive!

[@darinjobe8548]

Nice video buddy. Very well explained.

[@deesnuts7787]

Thanks for the video. Wow that vent window sucked. I almost gave up.

[@Whitefofiddy]

Nice me and my dad are fixing are 77 thanks for the vid it helped so much because I had to do one door and he had to do the other

[@bernardhutter1897]

Great information . Thanks a lot

[@richard_lerma_jr]

Awesome video bro.

[@fernandobarboza6857]

Thanks for the video Good job 👍🏼

[@goodolbronco]

Thank you!!!

[@treylyde999]

You the man

[@sailorman524]

great video!!

[@lorenmorelli9249]

excellent!!

[@treylyde999]

Unreal

[@rays.2480]

Excellent video ! I have a 1981 F100 that I am working on with a 300cu.in engine. It's almost road ready, I just need to replace the door seals, they are crumbling bad, I know now that i can do the job with confidence ! The Vent window and bottom window was my most concern. And I like in your video that you did not have to drill out the rivet for the upper hinge of the vent window. Taking the screws off is way better. While I have the door all apart, I'll replace the speakers as well, I'm sure they are shot. thanks again for a great video.. What is good to remove car paint off glass? last owners tried to paint the truck. and got over spray on the windshield.

[@combatvet2964]

Great video!

[@webslinger67]

your music..is....ugh...but thanks for this, good installation... one question...you don't need to remove the regulator to do this do you?

[@fsctrucking]

I don't see how you can without removing it. As for the music I had to change it after I monetized my channel as some of it was copyrighted. So I don't know which song you refer to.

[@webslinger67]

@Tomas Ronin no one gives a fuck

[@rclamb04]

Thanks so much

[@MrBergey909]

what if the previous owner used rivets to secure the window regulator?

[@desbordar]

Thanks

[@geeknowz5761]

Thank you 🙏

[@jebinho10]

Thanks for the video. I'll reference it plenty to replace whatever is making the handle act like a ratchet when rolling the window up. Not sure why it's doing this. The ratcheting is only when the handle is in the lower half circle when rolling it up. My '78 F150 is nearly a daily driver so I don't want to muscle it and risk breaking something before I have a chance to get new parts. Any ideas?

[@frankhuggins9856]

I love your KZbin channel’s I am having to find the windows trim for a 2002 Ford F150 supercrew cab Lariat because just can’t find them in Dade City Florida every time it rains my doors get water inside of them I truly hope you can help me please I WILL TRULY APPRECIATE it if you can just let me know if you can or can’t no matter what I really thank you for that lest reader my massage

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

Excellent instruction. Man I tried doing this kind of stuff before You-Tube and it was almost impossible. You had to go to a specialist and parts were not available, only from the junk yard or expensive OEM. Plus engines went about 100K then they needed to be rebuilt.

[@Foundmylsswap]

Great vid!!

[@acamp5468]

thanks man 👍👌

[@johnmorris9711]

sounds like a ford.....restoring a 74 f150 for a daily driver....I like simple

[@cruza1289]

Great video thanks heaps but next time more lighting would be much more help as it was hard to see

[@marcelzk]

Is there no glue needed or only on the front and rear window?

[@daveellis5100]

Recorded horizontally:)

[@efrainalvarez4481]

How much is the cost to do a job like this one? On 2022?

[@timwilliams3756]

thank for the info

[@hdeboer1977]

Great video! Do you need to glue the inner doorseal? What rubber cement do you recommend?

[@krytios1]

Since you already have taken everything out, can you link the removal video?

[@hothmob]

is it possible to install the forward channel track without removing the vent window? my vent window rubber is fine, but the felt channels are shot

[@codycook1704]

I am also wondering the same thing.

[@hothmob]

@@codycook1704 i had to drop the vent window- it was pretty easy. 2 screws up top and one below the crank. I just slid it out of the way. to remove you just need to pull it up, then twist it 90º to clear the offset panel mount. I did that for the other side as I got ballsy and wanted to clean and lube it.

[@timwilliams3756]

hi there i just got 2 weeks a go a 1978 F 100 custom with 3 on the tree i call the blue mule it the kind of truck i band kind of looking for years .... my truck has 302 in it and i like to ask what kind motor oil i need to get for my old truck can you p;ease tell me what kind of motor oil i need to get i know the oil filter is a F L - 1 A i look on the dip it just read SE OR 144-A

[@fsctrucking]

I use 10W-40 or 10W-30. Either will do. I have other videos with this truck so feel free to check them out. Congratulations on your purchase. Remember we are available for all your Ford Truck needs.

[@Wraithsong]

thanks. got anything on the door jamb switch. the ones that came with the new harness makes no sense :)

[@fsctrucking]

I have not messed with it on this truck. However normally a door jam switch grounds to the body. Needing only one wire to complete the circut

[@drumrooster]

What brand felts you use LMC? I'M having hell getting mine to stayed snapped in

[@dbfarm3145]

Me too. I got mine from LMC and they won’t stay snapped in. I guess I’m going to try to get some adhesive or silicone and spray behind the seals and leave the windows rolled up on it for a few days.

[@drumrooster]

@dbfarm3145 the upper channel felts I used some gorilla clear adhesive.. as for the window felts that snap in with little metal prongs..I bent the prongs out a little more and they push in way better..before they were poping back out

[@JH-zk6dk]

After I replaced the inner rubber on the door I need to Adjust the door. How do you adjust the door? 1971 f100

[@fsctrucking]

I'm assuming the door is still aligned to the body. The door striker (knob in door frame the door grabs onto) can be loosened and moved up, down, in, out. Commonly as the truck ages people will adjust them in as the old seals harden. Also you may want to look into replacing the hinge pins and sleeves if those are loose.

[@robertfogarty3253]

my 77 has paper inside door panel....im will try to get it off tomorrow without tearing it up

[@adrianperez6708]

You got descriptions for parts?

[@CodySnell_87]

was your regulator riveted in mine are? if so how do i remount them if i drill them out

[@fsctrucking]

It may have. I don't remember. I just bolt them in if so.

[@cynzhero62]

#999. And doing fine.

[@codyandrews6611]

Is that a Super Camper? I have a 76 SCS

[@Tazman2287]

Where can I order a driver's side window for a '73 F100? Can't find online. Great vid

[@fsctrucking]

I've never had a need to look for one. But that glass is flat and if you have one in decent enough shape any glass place can cut you one using an old one as a template. Worse case pull your passenger side glass and use that as a template. Be sure to subscribe. Thank you.

[@usernameinvalid2675]

Glass isn’t flat at all nor is the track straight just a oversight by this guy I’m sure when you turn wrenches all day everyday you forget as much as you know I know I do

[@usernameinvalid2675]

Just go to small town salvage yards or stop in to any ford guys and just ask

[@jeffcooke9905]

Is it possible to replace the window seal without removing the windows?

[@fsctrucking]

It may be. But I think that would add to the difficulty and cause the seal to be installed improperly.

[@jeffcooke9905]

Thanks for the advice

[@franciscotinoco4925]

how do i find the weather stripping piece as shown in 18:55 i can't find it anywhere????

[@fsctrucking]

All parts were from LMC Truck

[@danderson9881]

Note the Factory tint!

[@mikeilikeit9685]

Where can I buy it

[@davehottenstein5315]

The Taiwan seals do not click in the Taiwan doors. Gotta glue em in

[@dab5617]

I just got a private lesson in truck building from Rick Harrison

[@fsctrucking]

Not sure what that means but I guess cool.

[@MrBlaze256]

On the assembly line you have to do all of that in about 20 seconds

[@yairlopez4793]

Were did you the door seals

[@fsctrucking]

I got them from LMC Truck

[@timmytim1366]

I have a 78 ford e150. The wimdow seals are destroyed.

[@richard_lerma_jr]

Wanna see that 98 Mustang cant get the anti theft system off?

[@fsctrucking]

Be patient. More content on the 98 Mustang is coming. Half of the next video is filmed.

[@richard_lerma_jr]

Hell yeah

[@cadesyvock8704]

DO NOT BUT THIS KIT FROM LMC. I bought all the rubber for my 73 Ford and it has been a disaster. It’s taken me more than a week and now I have to sent parts back because they are either two big or broke while trying to install.

[@davidstepeck2644]

The one thing I wanted to see was the outer door seal. “I already put the one we received on already”. Great and thanks for nothing.
