Replacing a fuel cap

I could use some help in finding a replacement fuel cap for my 02 4x4 XLT. It seams that my wife dropped the old one on the ground while getting fuel, and then just drove off , it was 4 days later that she told me, After we had gone to bed . What I am looking for is the same type that came with the car, the 1 with the plastic keeper cord. I know what your are going to say, why was it not hooked on? MY BAD, just too lazy to get out the screwdriver and do what Ford should have done 6 years ago when we got the truck. It seams that the stealer or the parts rip-off stores dont cary one with the cable. Any ideas would help. This is from one who should stop driving for fun and do a little work on the truck.

Try ebay or a junk yard. I think only 02-04 will fit.

They do have aftermarket security straps that you can install on your new cap. Check the zone. Cheers
