Hole in fuel bowl

So my fuel bowl has some real bad pitting and over the weekend formed a few holes in it. I have JB weld drying up on it right now but dont think it will last till electric fuel so does anyone know the best place to get a bowl at? I checked E-bay and there are only SD bowls on there and none of the junk yards around here have any OBS Powerstrokes.
Thanks
John

As long as you had it completely clean before you applied the JB it'll last for years.

Ya I took it out and sand blaster it and cleaned it up real good. Im hoping it does. But I wouldnt mind having another as a back up. Do you know if and OBS fuel bowl will work or is there a change in there. The trucks a 96.

X2 to what BlueMule said about longevity of JB weld repair, it will give you plenty of time to locate a used one. You can repair a cracked block with it if you prepare the surface and clean it properly.

Well I just put it all back together and ran it no real bad leaks yet so knock on would I should be good to go. looks like my filter sensor is leaking so ill pick up a plug for that. I replaced all the hoses and O-rings in there while i had it apart so hopeully everything will be good after I plug the sensor. Hopefully it holds up till i find a cheap bowl or electric fuel.
