Default Door soft parts for a 39 truck

I am getting ready to redo the doors for my truck. I need to buy the rubbers and seals and what ever to finish out the doors. I want to try and get it in 1 lot not a piece from here and a piece from there. I have been looking at the online suppliers and some have kits and some I need to pick pieces off there inventory and add to cart. I really don’t know all what I need and some of the items are different on different sites. So I am looking for guidance and wisdom on what to get. Will the pickup stuff work with a truck?

The truck cab is the same as a pickup, so the rubber items will work on either body.

I wish that was true. I have learned that not everything that fits a pickup will fit a truck. I posted here in the hopes that someone with a truck has a source for the parts.

Things I know are different
Firewall
Entire Floor
Entire back of cab
Roof
Back window

Things I know are the same
Windshield frame and associated parts

Things I am about to find out
Doors-I already know the glass is different

Dennis Carpenter had a variety of NOS door window parts for the 38 and 39 commercial vehicles and trucks in their NOS department. You can try them. I do not know what they have available aftermarket. Good luck with your project.

Thank you
I think I found what I need there
Their parts look correct. To what I see in my door.

So I placed an order with dennis carpenter for parts to fit my truck and they sent a new set from vintique which is disappointing because I already returned a vintique set to another vendor. The long piece that goes in the top and sides of the door channel is the wrong size.
The parts that go in the bottom of the door are correct.
I had to drill out the tube nuts on the window frames so now I am searching for replacement screws so I can take my frames and get glass cut and installed. Some one had fun breaking every window before I got it.

Edit to add: I found ford used a 6-32 tube nut on the model A and that looks like what I need and the threads are the correct size
