IMHO GTrestorations had at least everything in stock

Dunno still about some good quality and repro window catwiskers for 3rd gens. I can say FOR SURE YR1 are pieces of...  :brickwall:

I used Soff Seal for my car and I sourced it from a couple of places.  I'm satisfied with it.

I got a Metro Super Soft kit for the entire car on my '69 and was VERY pleased. The trunk weatherstrip was spot on with the little lip that most repros do not have. They are also spongy like originals.

I have an earlier repro set on my '70, & it is a firmer rubber. You need to really SLAM the door to get it to shut, I'm looking to swap this stuff out for the newer Metro stuff.

I would go with what Bill says.  He runs AMHightechauto.com and he really knows what he is talking about.  I ordered the Metro product for my car.  They had most everything except the windshield gasket.

Although I'm quite flattered, I think you have me confused with the wrong "Bill". I think his screen name is gtx1970. He runs a great outfit, I've purchased stuff from him before as well.
Not to turn your head to a different source, but I actually got my weatherstrip kit off a seller on eBay. It was the complete kit, at a very good price. I'm sure Bill's prices are very competitive, though.

 I have always had good luck with Steele Rubber for the older cars and Soft Seal for anything mid 70's and up.

GTrestorations is a dealer not a manufacturer. They carry all or mostly all brands. When I got Steele Rubber stuff from them, they had it cheaper than Steele Rubber themself

!st off, I don't carry any weatherstriping.

If I need  any I'll but from either Tom at RT Specialties or randy at RPM Restorastions.

Both carry all 3 major manufacturers lines of w.striping and and can put a kit together that not only fits but works. to me price is secondary

btw , soffseal is the bottom if the line , IMO
