I prefer National Parts Depot (NPD) as a supplier. I've ordered alot from them and am happy with their product. They have a great color catalog and a great selection. They are also an FTE sponsor as well!
Good luck.

If your going to replace the fuse block, you should replace the complete harness to get rid of the undersized wiring used on the lights. Some offer a harness with all of the wires terminated.

I agree. Besides, with these trucks being so old, the wiring insulation is probably starting to deteriorate in places. I can't remember the name of the manufacturer, but there is a company that offers the entire loom/fuse block, using the new style blade fuses. Plus, you'll get additional fuse block space for any additional needs.

"Painless Wiring" gives you complete wiring harnesses.
As for light sockets? Check your local Autozone or such as mine has a selection of replacment sockets. Most are plastic, but they offer some metal versions that could be made to work in the tailight assembly.
