Missing light socket

Hey everyone! I am having an amazingly difficult time finding a couple light bulb sockets for my '66 F-100 dash cluster! It is just the single wire body ground metal socket but apparently it is made of solid gold! None of the reproduction and restoration catalogs I have been able to find have them and the salvage yards can't seem to locate them. Any ideas? Thanks!

C4AZ13621A .. Metal Bulb Socket-Use in Instrument Cluster / Obsolete

Fits 1961/67 F100/1100 // 1960/67 Passenger Cars / 1968 and later use plastic sockets.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Lenexa KS has 1 = 913-220-5746.

BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has 1 = 800-676-0675.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 1 = 800-543-4959.

KINSEL L/M in Beaumont TX has 1 = 800-546-7278.

MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has 1 = 800-546-7278

DON SANDERSON FORD in Glendale AZ has 26 = 623-842-8762.

Sanderson will prolly be the cheapest. Bob Allen Ford wants MEGA-bucks for obsolete parts.
