Help finding obsolete part - d3tz-2a709-d

I'm looking for the parking brake cable retainer springs for the rear brakes that moung to the top of the shocks. From some quick internet searching, my best guess is part number d3tz-2a709-d (for 1973 4x4 F250). I haven't been able to locate them. Can anyone confirm this is the actual part number I need, and possibly point me towards a source or alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Your part number is invalid.

C7TZ-2A709-C .. R/L Rear Brake Cable Retainer - 5 21/32" long - 42 1/4 coils / Obsolete

1967/79 F250 4WD Regular/Crew Cab.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has 1 = 913-220-5746.

HIGH BUCK! BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS may have 4 = 913-381-3000 .. but their inventory hasn't been updated since 2/4/2016.

Is this what you really want? See 2A709 in pic:

Yep, that's the spring. Might just go to home Depot and shop for door springs instead. These obsolete items are hard to track down.
Thanks for the quick reply.
