OK, I wasn't sure if it was just plugged up with dirt like many are or if a leak was at an O-ring as that can be resealed. If there are none in the Toyota parts system at all (even Japan or UAE) I guess you will have to find a used one. eBay, Face Book Marketplace or check the forums For Sale sections. There's a few guys with build threads on the forums that are building one truck from a few parts trucks so maybe hit them up.

IDK if there are any aftermarket kits available. Check Vintage Air or others. Good luck with your search and please post up if you get it fixed.

Thanks for your insights - I’m near San Antonio and there is a place that I think can repair it. Trying to keep it original avoid a Vintage air solution. Thanks again.
