Where can I find Gerber cloth diapers that are NOT gauze or birdseye cloth?

When my first son was born in 2005, a friend gave us a 12-pack of Gerber cloth diapers. We never used them...until my second son came along in 2009- although I used them as burp cloths, and he took those as his "security item," rather than a pacifier. Now, I can't find them ANYWHERE. They are VERY thin- NOT the gauze or birdseye cloth that's out there now. They're not prefolded, either. I think she originally got them at Toys 'r' Us, and I can't find them there. Has anyone seen these?

Update:

I got these diapers in 2005, not the 1970s.

Natural Baby does not carry them, and there are no "Amish" stores nearby.

    In other words, you want flat diapers. These are much larger than the prefolded ones. If you really can't find them, get some fabric, cut it the right size and hem it. I used flat diapers all the time with my babies, but my youngest is 16. I'll bet some Amish stores carry diapers. You could also check the Natural Baby Catalogue.

    uhm at thrift stores, they have stuff from the seventies, so they definitely have some good ones there. but beware of the ones with BROWN or YELLOW stains!
