85 GMC Hood hinge seal problem

Hi, I have a 85 Gmc K3500 4x4 that Im having a problem with water getting into the cab. It seems to be coming through the seal on the hood hinges. I've called all the restoration retailers and nobody seems to sell the seals I need. Does anybody know where I could get new seals or If anybody has nos seals they would like to sell. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
