[Oletrucks] 54 misc parts, weatherstripping & rubber parts

[James Hays]

I purchased a fiberglass head liner from Brothers(about $135?)- looking
forward to gluing some vinyl on it and never worrying about the Washington
State moisture getting to it like the stock cardboard.

I'm hoping to start on my '51 GMC again this summer.  Last time (2001?) I
used
a lot of parts from Chevy Duty and aside from the rubber parts and headliner
I
was fairly happy with what I bought.  All the rubber parts failed within a
couple years and looked worse than the original stuff I'd replaced.  Is the
stuff from the other vendors different?  I tend to be cheap but I'm willing
to
pay for stuff that will last!  The items listed below are what I'm looking
for, any good bad experiences you guys have had would be appreciated.

rubber floor mat
gas filler grommet
wing window weatherstripping
headliner
glove box
