I assume you have checked Rockauto.

Yesir, Rockauto is on the list. I've got 18 parts I've been specifically looking for and they have 4, lol. Out of 13 possible suppliers (not including random google searching) so far LMC has the most at 8. Classic Industries currently holds the record for getting me the only confirmed correct part...a tie rod sleeve.
I had not been looking NOS for any rubber parts for just the reason you described, I just happened across the one on ebay in my desperate 'search anywhere'. The one there didn't have the seals though, just the stuff I already have, shaft and bushings. Though at this point I'd probably take my chances with about anything that fit
