I have some NOS ones, will try & remember to throw them in the PU, but don't remember which they fit any longer.

I used a set from a car. soaked and cleaned and freed them up.worked grease all thrugh the housing made up a connector link a few inches long to make the difference between the truck and car length. Works great.
