sliders for my driver seat ( buddy bucket seats)?

the front left roller has gotten it's self lost, and now the seat leans front and to the left.

I`d say that was the wrong stuff to lose.You won`t find new parts and I doubt anyone would piece out a good buddy seat.

I wish I could say I was the one who lost it, but it was gone when I bought the truck.
I took the seat out to investigate what it was going to take to remove the gas tank, and noticed the studs on the slider rails where stripped out & the front left side slider was missing the roller, causing the seat to lean forward & to the left.

So I guess there is no complete slider kit I can buy to replace the ones I have?
Any one know a good place to start looking for a possible "alternate slider that I can retro fit onto the seat?

you could check the junkyards to see if you can maybe find something from another seat thatll work or that you can make work
