IMO ...steeles rubber products and get a local glass company to cut the glass. Usually cheaper. If not LMC is about the cheapest

If the local glass company won't work with you Bob's classic auto glass sells the glass and their prices give you something to base your local pricing on. Flat glass is usually pretty inexpensive locally if you take the old glass in for samples and all they have to do is cut the glass and sand the edges.
Link to Bobs is http://bobsclassicautoglass.com/ Remember you have to calculate shipping in there too but knowing what they want gives you an idea of if the local guys are treating you right.

Re: best place to get all glass / seals for '49
I had great results with companies like Classic Parts, Brothers, Chevs Of The 40's, Obsolete Chevy's, And The Truck Shop. The one thing I did find is that there are two different sizes (in terms of thickness and height of rear glass rubber. The smaller rubber works better than the larger rubber. The front rubber I bought from CP was great. There was no lower corner gap that I have seen in many trucks.
