Rear differential fill plug

I need a new fill plug for Sterling 10.25 rear on my '92 F-350. Where can I buy one? Looked up NAPA and two other local stores online and they don't carry it. I am certainly not the first one in need of this plug so hopefully some one can tell me where it might be available.
Mine was busted real bad, I did some more damage to it until finally drilled deeper and got it off with pipe nipple extractor from HF. This tool is actually did a nice job, I would highly recommend it. $9.99 well spent.

You should be able to find a replacement at a hardware store. It'll be on the shelf with the galvanized pipe fittings.

Good idea, thanks. But probably as a temporary solution. I'd like to have the original one with the magnet.
