Sad to say, that part may be (according to ford), no longer available. Ford has a nasty habit of 'dropping parts that don't sell'. Especially if they're 10 years or older.
As far as a ford dealer stocking one? If they did, and they do have it, it's by accident. MOST ford dealers have a parts stocking setup, that if an item doesn't sell within 6 months (usually less), it doesn't get stocked. The parts that were already there before they implemented that process usually get sent back to ford. If they're too old, then who knows. Sold however they can. But they will not (as a rule), leave them on the paperwork as an 'in stock' item.
Good luck with your quest.
Oh yeah, and another thing. IF you were to pull one out of a junked/parted out car, the chances of that one being better/good are 50/50 at best.
Again, goodluck.
