Front Bumper/ Radiator-Support help

Due to an unfortunate misshap, I am in search of a new passenger-side radiator-support support. Its sort of shaped like half an hour-glass, is welded to the very front of the frame, and supports the radiator/grill support, bumper, wheelhouse., etc..
The original was sheared off (rather nicely though, with no damage to the actual frame.), I could reuse the original, but it is a bit crimped, and since it is pretty heavy-duty steel, I really dont want to have to work with it. My hope is to be able to find a replacement without having to cut one off of a donor truck. (which are hard to find around here anyway)That way, I can just grind off the remnants of the old one, and weld up the new one. Does anyone know where I could possibly find one of these?

Thats ok...thanks anyway man. I decided to get down and dirty and just use the original one...after an hour or two with some wedges, a sledge, and a crowbar, I managed to get it pretty straight...Im gonna weld it up this weekend, and she should be good to go.

Now I just gotta finish sanding and priming, and get ready to spray her.
