The plastic pieces aren't available separately. The original p/n is D2AZ-6522008-A. Plate, door latch striker. This fits 73-79 either right or left door.
You can also get the complete piece from the parts store. Look in the "help" section, they usually have them there.

Years and years ago I took mine apart and replaced the plastic
tube with bronze oil-lite bearings that I'd re-sized to work. :)

$18 or even $13 for basically just a new plastic tube? LOL :)

Blame Ford for that, they made the puppy as a one piece assembly so potential customers (except for a certain signal ape ) had to buy the whole tamale.

$18.00 looks cheap! Dennis Carpenter has them for $25.00.
LMC not so bad, $9.95

I'll post pics later, but a piece of 1/2" pex water pipe works perfectly. I just cut to length then cut a slit so I could slide it on the post. I don't drive my truck every day, or sometimes even every week, but they've been on there for months and last time I looked at them they looked like they did when I put them on.

I'm a plumber so that was a natural solution for me, but if you aren't or don't know one, you can probably buy a foot of pex for a couple of bucks or less at lowes or home depot.

Yeah it's a cool one alright. :)
Tell 'em what you want and need it for and the guy at your
local hardware store will give it to you free, I'd bet. LOL :)

If it's the right size, it might work to take it apart like I did?
