Default Lift gate ck arm

I just purchased a 1993 W250 5.9L V8. However, it's missing the passenger side tailgate hinge. The part is referred to as"lift gate ck arm" does anyone know where I can get one? The dealer wants almost $50.00 for one.

Thanks!

I would replace them both with cables.

Checked with the dealer and he said the cables would not work.

I've been calling junk yards around Des Moines, Iowa and so far none have had it. Let me know if anyone has any more ideas. Thanks!
