I got one from what was Chevy Duty for like $35.(been a few years ago) The 1st(&2nd) gen Chevy Vans use the 64-66 Chevy pickup windshield(standard,no chrome trim) gasket.

Just go inside and bend the gasket towards the glass, away from the frame while pushing the glass with the weatherstrip still on it,,,,,it should pop out if the gasket is not too hard,,,,,,

If it is stiff at all, cut the rubber off. I broke a good windshield because of a dried out rubber. New windshield $156.00.
