Fuel Pump Lobe

The Fuel pump lobe on the camshaft on my 88 F350 is worn out, I took the front cover and cam gear off and the lobe comes on and off, can I buy just that lobe somewhere? I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even Ford has it.

No, its two pieces and the camshaft I just bought from Advance auto parts did not come with it, I have pulled two lobes off off cam shafts I had laying here and all of them were worn out, not as bad as mine, I put my fuel pump in wrong.

Thats what I've been running but I dont like it b/c the truck doesn't get slower when the filter stops up it just cuts off with no warning. I have tried several different fuel pumps and with a big load behind it they can't keep up.
