1944 Cab Over Engine - Needing sources for interior parts

If anyone is aware of parts sources for interior parts like door seals, window actuators, roll up down handles, *****, trim pieces, etc. please let me know.

Also, if there is a place to find a schematic on anything interior, assuming such a thing existed for something this old, that would be valuable.

I'm finished with the engines and frame, and starting on the inside now.

If anyone wants to view the Dropbox folder of build progress, you can use this link.

Two manual valve body turbo 400s.
There is a combo box out of a tractor pull setup that has 5 gears in it. 2 input shafts from the turbo 400s rotate right, two intermediate gears rotate left which makes the middle gear rotate right which is also the output shaft.

Weak link will be the torque converters.

Manual valve body ensures both transmissions shift at the same time, heaven forbid one shifts and the other doesn't :-)

It will probably be a barrel of monkeys to drive, but it's main purpose will be a conversation piece :-)

jfellman,
Amazing work! WOW! For sure will be a conversation piece. Maybe leads for interior over on the Ford Barn or HAMB?
Regards,
Chris
