New tank selector valve?

Is there a source for a new selector valve other than Ford?
Got a customer's truck here that we believe has a bad valve, and a new one from Ford would probably double the value of the truck. But he wants it running, so I am trying to save him some $$$.

Thanks.

There's the after-market ones, but you have to modify the fuel line connections and wire it in. Still, it's much cheaper than an actual Ford unit.

Don't know if there is any truth to it or not Jim, but I read that the H1 Hummer uses the same valve and there is a guy on ebay that sells them for $195 or something.

This is the aftermarket one that's only $65 that I was talking about.

Thanks for the links guys. The hummer one is almost tempting to try. But then again i just like to bolt on a factor part and know it will work.

I like the list price on that hummer one. Is that close to the ford price? If anyone goes the hummer route please post. I was planning on putting my 360k one back on my rebuild, but for $100 I may go new...
