Default 4.3 Vortec Air Cleaner Mount Gasket

I have a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer 4-Door 4x4 with the 4.3L Vortec engine. The air cleaner mount gasket, where the air cleaner mounts to the throttle body is worn out. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an aftermarket source for this gasket? I am going to call the local Chevy dealership in the morning, they were closed today. Searched online for a long while and could not find one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The orange seal is part of the duct, dealer only, (or a bone yard).

Thanks. I got a hold of the dealership this morning, they want $140, not to mention it's something they'll have to order. I am going to run by the junkyard and see what the ones they have look like before dropping that kinda dough. At that price I might as well just buy a cold air intake. Really surprised that GM didn't make this gasket a replaceable part.

I have used "form a gasket' and/or a flat rubber gasket from ace hardware.

Thanks guys, went by Pick & Pull this afternoon and got a nice one for $3.99. I also replaced a few vacuum lines, amazing how much better the truck runs now.
