Unhappy Power steering pump pulley

Does anyone know where I can purchase a METAL power steering pump pulley for a '92 F150 4.9L. The one for the 5.0 is the same pulley as Napa does not list one for the 4.9L. The OEM pulley is chicken feces plastic and breaks if you look at too hard. (Serpintine belt came off today due to a chunk of ice coming up from the road and the tensioner bumped the pulley and broke the P.O.S.

I am looking for a metal one to replace it with. I hope someone can help me!

There is some slop in the pump internals that allows for some axial movement of the pulley and shaft. The pump on my truck does the same thing, but 1/4 inch seems excessive. The only way to know for sure is to disassemble the pump. The pulley is pressed onto the shaft, so if the pulley moves any on the shaft, it will probably not stop at 1/4 inch, but rather slip all the way off.
