Looking for an intact tailgate handle gasket for a station wagon. I believe it's the same one as on a Ranchero. If anybody has a parts car with an intact gasket behind the tailgate handle, please let me hear from you. Thanks.
I wish someone would make it. Every one of the Wagons/Rancheros need it. I have a NOS handle with a NOS gasket, but it's perfect and I'm not wanting to use it on one of my cars as of yet.
...is that a 3D printer project?
Take that NOS gasket and see if Carpenter is willing to reproduce it. I could use a couple of them.
I've offered Dan(was Dennis) Carpenter some of my NOS stuff to make repos in the past, and they did not seem interested in borrowing them. I have both a NOS Wagon/Ranchero and NOS Custom/Custom 300 rear deck emblem/lock/gasket, I offered for them to use the Custom one several years ago, it would be more correct than the one they ended up making that is on the market now. They came out nice, but I have a perfect one to compare to. I would love to help, and would loan them what I can, and would purchase several if they made them, but I don't really have a connection there.

suede57ford.........sent you a P.M.
Not sure what's going with them. When Bob Juliano was still alive he took a 60 wagon lift gate to see if they would do the seal. Three years after he passed I called to see if there was any progress and the R&D guy said it was still sitting on the barrel where Bob put it when he brought it in.
Bob had a 60 wagon project that is really out there. He and I talked on many occasions about the wagons, bought some parts from him that he had extra and I needed for mine. Really nice guy! A great loss for us car guys.
Dennis is a great guy, his son Dan I don't care for at all.

Did you try Steele?
