Yea, you can get those gaskets. I know LMC has 'em, probably Dennis Carpenter and NPD have them as well.
I have heard it's a royal PIA to get those on, though. You basically have to strip the upper firewall.
Good luck! (A cooler full of cold, non alcoholic beverages might make the job a bit more enjoyable.)

the originals were made of cork. you could cut your own gaskets out of a roll of cork if you wanted to.

I did mine, when the cab was stripped out, still a pain in the ass! Definitly not a fun job!
