Steering Stabilizer Help

[sdailey]

I'm looking for a factory oem stabilizer for my '69 K10. I've swapped out the factory axles and have installed a set of disc brake axles out of a '72. The '72 axles has a tab welded on the axle tube where one end of the stabilizer mounts with a large threaded bolt/stud. The other end of the stabilizer mounts to the steering/tie rod with a clamp and ubolts. The stabilzer that I took off 2 years ago now looked like a traditonal shock with eyes on each end.

Here's my dilemma. I have called (2) Off Road Shops/Distributors and haven't had any luck locating the stabilizer I need. The first company actually has a picture of one on their website, but they can't confirm that's the one they have in stock. I then called the manufacturer (Rough Country) and they basically told me the same thing. Their actual comment was that their warehouse was in a different building from their sales office so they couldn't be 100% positive what stabilzer I'd get if I ordered it from them. SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!

I then tried my local "4x4" shop and explained to him in detail what I needed. He told me he knew exactly which stabilizer I wanted and that he had installed several of those style stabilizers. So I give him the green light to order one. He called me Friday to say that it had came in. Well when I go by to pick it up I had my doubts that it would be the wrong one. When I got to the shop I find out that they hadn't even opened the box yet to verify that it was the correct style. The owner tosses the unopened box on the counter and we open it together just to find out that it the wrong one. I was aggravated to say the least. He then offered to order one from Rancho, but he couldn't guarantee which style it would be. All he had was a part number out of a catalog to go by. So who knows what it'll look like.

Anyway, I just want the factory stabilizer to put back on my truck. Is that too much to ask? Here is a picture of the stabilizer I need (first picture). The second picture shows the one like the local guy has. It'll work but not with the factory mount.

So can anyone please point me in right direction of where I can find the correct/oem stabilizer for my truck? Or at least give the name and number of a reputable 4x4 shop that would be willing to help a potential customer.

Thanks in advance.
