Need ideas on finding a odd part

OK if someone would have told me how insanely hard it is to find this part I would have just laughed at them ... until now. I have hunted high and low around my area and have no idea the number of hours spent surfing the web.

I have posted a add here with no luck so I am hoping someone in the forums can help me find this.

I am in the middle of a full off frame rebuild and have hit a bump in the road.

It is a 1989 F-250 custom 4X4 W/ a 351 EFI and a C6 auto over 8500 GVW. I need a transmission fluid fill tube and dipstick. The old one was rusty and in the event of removing trans and transfer it got ... well bent in half and tossed out. My thoughts were I'll buy a new one and moved on. Ford nolonger makes it. I bought a new one form Jeff's Bronco graveyard however it does not fit with the EFI and air tube from motor head to motor head. I have been through 5 differnt junk yards here, even posted a wanted add on a junk yard site. I still have no part. I seen the ones that mount to the cab and are more of a one size fits all .. but would rather have more of a orginal fit part.

I am MORE then happy to pay for shipping and your time to pack in a box should someone have one kicking around the old shop there. Or would be most thankfull if someome could point me to a place to buy one at. Right now Im working on welding in a new floor in the cab and would like to have finished this part up before setting the cab back on the frame.

Thanks,
