I believe I ordered some/most/all?? of mine through Steele rubber products? I don't know if anyone makes a complete kit though? There is a Chevelle guy, I think he goes by Eynstine or Einstein or something like that. Maybe do a google search for Chevelle wagon parts maybe? He has made some Chevelle wagon parts & some of them do interchange with Olds. wagons.

No one sells a complete kit (and "complete" would encompass a LOT of rubber parts). I'm not even sure you can get every single part from one vendor. Steele is a good place to start. Fusick may have just about all the pieces that Steele doesn't sell. Be aware that VERY few Vista weatherstrip parts are common with Chevelles. In particular the back doors are about 5" longer than on other A-body wagons that year, so ONLY VC rear door weatherstrips will work. (No, the Buick Sport Wagon with roof windows was NOT offered in the 1972 model year). Also, differences in beltline and fender contours will cause door weatherstripping to be different, as I found out between the 64-65 Vista and the 66-67 Vista rear door weatherstrip.

Joe,
Thanks for the info. I knew a couple things would interchange but did not know how few actually would.

Thanks for the info. I know the rear doors were longer. I've got to do some thing it rains in the car.

I think I got my door weatherstrips from metro. The Chevelle wagon guy (Pete Lohr) has a lot of stuff for the tailgate area, that worked on my car. I think his website is Einstyn.com.
