Door Seals for bad door replacement

Need recommendations for Door Seals for a bad door replacement. Some decades ago i replaced the drivers side door on my 54 with (i think) a 53. It has proven impossible to get a good seal due to the excessive gap between door and frame. No amount of adjustment works. Door won't come within 3/8" of the interior seal when closed tight. Think either the door or cab is bent. Is there a very thick seal out there i could use? needs to be width of standard seal + 1/4 to 3/8" to close gap. Also needs to be durable and soft enough to compress in tighter areas.
