Try Restoration Specialties,
They started making them for the Chevy vans, you might find the Econoline ones there too.
I found the Chevy one on page 58 of their catalog, Part #: e715. I looks as though the Econoline is on the same page, but I don't see the Doghouse gasket. You might try calling them since their catalog may not be current. Or you may be able to send them a sample of what you have, they started offering the Chevy one after another vanner sent them a sample.

I'm using 1/4" thick x 3/8" wide taped back neoprene.
If that's wrong, let me know.

I am using an autozone gasket that Fred originally found. I don't have the numbers on it right now, but it was a foam gasket that they had in stock on the floor of two stores that I went to. You should be able to search on it here or on the yahoo groups.

Re: Dog House Seal?
by crowen57 on Sat Aug 07, 2010 4:00 pm
I went to my local O'Reilly Auto Parts last January to see what they might have for weatherstripping. I ended up buying a package of part number CRD 01080, which contained 10 feet (about 5 inches too much). We were going on what turned out to be a 750 mile trip, so I wanted to seal the lid (mostly Martha's side!) For 24.99 I was willing to see if it would work out. While I had the lid off installing the seal I was thinking to myself that there is no way this is going to work. The seal seemed like it was too big and I was wondering how I could trim it to size. I test fit the lid, and to my surprise, it fit great! I wish I had done this long ago!
Particulars of the weatherstrip:
Mfg by Carrand Companies
Sold as "Super-stik" weatherstrip
Dimensions: .65" thick x .75 wide x 10' long
