77 F150 Reverse light socket needed. (HELP)

Hi all!
as the title says, I have a 77 F150 that is in the completion stages of restoration. I cant for the life of me find a reverse socket. Its the two wire that twists into the tailight.
I have been to autozone, pep boys, NAPA, and have also checked LMC, as well as called the dealer.
I can find the three wire for the turn/stop, but thats it.
anyone know where to find one? Or if any later years interchange?
thanks for any help.

Try Rock Auto's website (I haven't checked if they have it or not, but they carry quite a bit of stuff).

I couldn't find a new one either. So I bought a brake light pig tail . Connected the ground wire,then tested the other two wires to see which one best matched the brightness of my working back up light.
