Best suppliers for quality cab seals and other bits?

Hey guys, a few questions for you guys. If anyone can help out with answers or opinions then I'd gladly hear it. Thanks in advance for any advice.
My project cab is a 1950 GMC COE – aka The DinerLiner.

I want to replace every seal in the cab (no rear or corner windows as the project is a walkthrough, and no pedal/firewall rubbers as that's all custom).
As far as I can see this is the list I'll need – if I've missed any please tell me!

Doors – I think this runs in a channel around the inside of the door?
Wind lace around cab door opening
side window felt channel kit
side window glass scrapers/sweepers
windscreen
door handles to cab doors
door lock to cab door
front fender to cab (fender welt)
side cowl vent
top cowl vent
headlight bucket to fender seals
headlight bucket grommets
hood to body seal - does this fit on the hood or the body?
windshield wiper spindle seal
cab step seals
ribbed rubber fender pads and step pads (does anyone make these cor COEs?)
gas tank filler neck

I'll also be replacing the following parts:
interior and exterior door handles
window winder handles
dash clock/gauge set
dashboard switches/knobs
b-pillar exterior grab handle

So I want good-best quality, I don't believe on scrimping on seals or brightwork and I'd prefer to get as much as I can from one supplier. I value good customer service too. Any recommendations for a one-stop-shop? Or if even you've had experience with some poor quality parts and you can help me avoid buying rubbish then please, shout out!

Thanks
Mack
