Tailgate pivot bushing not available?

My tailgate has been rattling and driving me nuts so i thought I would take a look at it today. I know they have issues with the striker bushing wearing so I was going to replace it. When I got to looking, it seems the striker is worn but also the RH side pivot bushing is GONE. No biggie, I dial up the local Ford stealer to check price and availability. Guy tells me he can't get the bushing, it doesn't call it out and the only way to get one is to buy the whole tailgate. This guy is nuts right? Anyone know where I can get the bushing or a part # so I can give it to this clown? Thanks.

Yea that is what I was looking for, FORD calls it a roller? I am going to order them today. My truck is well out of warranty so the TSB isn't going to do me much good unfortunately.
