Source for Door vapor Barrier and foam boarder

The other day when I was taking the inner door panels off, the white foam that goes between the door and panels, disintegrated from age and dry rot.
I also noted that there is no plastic sheet vapor barrier in either door.
My question is:
Is there a source for getting both of these items, or do I just need to fabricate my own?
Thanks in advance

Foam rubber seals are approximately 1/2" x 1/2" and 52" long each. I optioned for 1/2" wide, 3/8" tall. I'm not aware of a factory/retail barrier, can always make something

Much info. applies to all 67-72 GM, A/C vehicles, esp. trucks W/O saying. Full search ability, including to 700+ images of illus., parts, charts, Assy., points of interest, cab, bed, & front clip cart plans- Specials and cores were serviced out and R excluded e.g. front/rear glass, body/paint, engine core, rebuilt hinges, steering box, trans, etc.

The project was in-line with long former professions developing process, policy, specs, demo, written for novices, admin., policy, engineers, development, systems & test - Public & govt 2, gross. Sell soft copy cheaply, PM if interested.

Plastic moisture barrier?? These trucks were built over 50 years ago. Was there even plastic back then? Now on my toyota I used 6 mil clear and cut it to shape

Thanks to both members.
I kinda figured on just getting the right sized foam and on the Plastic, It would be more of a dust barrier than moisture protection
