Default Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V Serpentine Belts?

I can't seem to find any Goodyear Gatorback Poly-V Serpentine Belts for my 1997 Corvette. Everyone I've talked to says they have been discontinued...

I believe the part numbers to be 4060802 for the main drive, and 4040420 for the AC drive. Can someone point me to where I might be able to find some? Thanks.

Hmm, I went to the site you linked and plugged in my application and it shows both belts in the blue racing variety.

The six rib main belt shows:
