U bolt retainer plate e2tz-5796-c ????

85 f250 4x4 over 8500 lbs 7.3 idi single cab. I went to the local ford dealer to find the plate on top of the leaf springs that the U bolts go through but they couldnt get it, the part number they gave me to try and crossover is e2tz-5796-c I ordered one from broncograveyard but it must be for under 8500lbs the ubolts are to wide for it and the spring pack bolt on my truck is alot smaller then the hole cut out in the plate, think mine is 3/8, im not doing a lift or anything just stock replacement, my plate was cracked is how I got into this. Anybody got any ideas of a fix for this, any other year models I could use one from? I told them at Ford I thought up to 96 may work,(may be wrong on that) I would like to have a new one, I know the junkyard option is there and im fine with that unless one of you guys might know some year models I could crossover or know somewhere else I might try.

I went to the local ford dealer to find the plate on top of the leaf springs that the U bolts go through but they couldn't get it (obsolete).

The part number they gave me is E2TZ-5796-C

I ordered one from broncograveyard but it must be for under 8500 lbs., the u-bolts are too wide for it and the spring pack bolt on my truck is alot smaller then the hole cut out in the plate.
E2TZ-5796-C (replaced EOTZ-5796-B):

1980/96 F250 4WD over 8,500 lbs. GVWR / 1987/97 F350 4WD // 1980/97 F250/350 & F(Super Duty) 2WD except Cab & Chassis.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
