Hey gang,I'm going to be doing a blow through. It will be my first, but I'm confident. I'm trying to find out the best place to find the gasket material to use to bridge the gap between the cab and the bed. I've heard the best to use is the same stuff that separates the cab and sleeper protion of older rigs. Is this available easily or is it hard to find? Thanks for any help.

i'm in the middle of a full walkthrough on my nissan hardbody.
locally, best price i found for the boot material was 6.50 a foot.
online i found it as low as 5 a foot.
just search online.
if you prefer to buy local.. go to any shop that sells truck camper shells. most of the shops i went to locally, keep it in stock. (big rolls of it.)
kinda like buying wire, they just unroll however many feet you need.

any web addresses for online sales. I can't find the stuff locally. The main place in my area does not do that anymore and they say the gaskets are basically discontinued.

I am the local stereo shop. The places that did truck caps don't do it anymore. The rv places don't have the stuff either. Anymore ideas?
