Part number for replacement float???

Hi guys, I was needing the part number for a replacement plastic float for my fuel sender. Tried calling the parts stores but had no luck...I'm sure they stock them but I would be better off having a part number handy.

Far as I know all the floats for our years are brass. Not sure if they are a standard parts store item, but most venders do sell them.

Yep, my 1969 C20's float was brass, I had to replace the whole sender and the new one is brass too.

I've read threads on here of people replacing the brass floats on new senders for plastic ones since they leak a lot. Just havent seen a part number listed.

I'm pretty sure the float on my OE sender is a plastic kind of material...worst case I could use that one, but I'd rather have a new one to go with my new sender.
