Hi. Sounds rad! Fork is a bit tricky, especially if it needs braze ons. Then custom is probs the way to go. Ebay has some good 1" forks with canti and/or disk tabs at aprox 400mm a-c (which i could imagine the current fork is) @bankiren can maybe help.
But yea matching the a-c the bike is designed around is pretty key.
Rose bikes has some solid wheelsets with deore or XT hubs on mavic rims for around 700 - 100 gbp. If not there's lots of retro mtb wheelsets kickin around second hand for cheap.
A slick with good punture protection could be like a Schwalbe Big apple, Big ben, Super moto, or Kojak. Im also really fond of Geax Booze Light 26x2.3
