I got some a few year's ago from LMC Truck in Lenexa, KS. The seals across the bottom of the window openings didn't fit perfectly, and needed a small amount of trimming. Probably made in China. The felt seals for the top and sides of the window opening were a little long, so you can trim to final length. They needed some glue to help hold them in the channels, but maybe they originally did at the factory too?
Overall though, they weren't too bad. And boy it was nice to not listen to the wind whistling through the worn out seals as you were going down the highway!
Dennis Carpenter may have them. Perhaps some other sources too. I just happen to live close enough to Lenexa to drive over to LMC and buy them at their store instead of mail ordering them.

I avoid using LMC as a source for rubber and soft plastic parts. Their formulation doesn't hold up well to UV and heat. I bought some fender to cab shields and they split, crumbled, and fell apart in three years.
I just received an order from National Parts Depot and most of the parts were labeled as Dennis Carpenter Reproduction parts. In my opinion, NPD is the go-to place.

To go to the expense I want more than a couple of years out of them and with the summer here rubber breaks down in no time. Thanks for the input I'll check out NPD online. Already looks like a slow day at work...not that I would utilize my work time to shop and research weekend projects.
