Replacement front coil spring cups...any ideas?

I have a 1979 F150 Custom 4x4, last weekend I had to change out the drivers side radius arm (had a hole in it). While changing it out we noticed that the cup that the coil spring sets in was pretty rotted out. Called all the local shops and nobody seems to carry these or even knows were to get them. Anybody have any ideas where I might beable to get a set, other than the wrecking yard? Haven't called the ford dealer as of yet, is it possible that the dealer may have them?

Thanks for any information.

Being from arizona I have heard of this "rust" but never actually seen it. However if you would like to call some yards around phoenix, i know they do mail order.

Check out the state/regional chapter forums. They have many local sources listed.

i dont' know where you're from, but if you live on a farm you can use old PTO shaft covers. We just cut the round ends off and they make perfect cups.
