Lower Engine Oil Cooler Bracket

[Boots97]

Hi Everyone,

I have a lot of plans for my 1997 Chevrolet K1500 5.7 Z71. One of them is replacing the oil pan gasket and oil filter adapter on my truck since both are leaking. I also plan on adding an engine oil cooler and oil filter adapter from a Chevrolet 2500/3500 truck. I've already sourced most of the parts that I need but I'm having trouble finding part #15972506 This part is discontinued but I was wondering if anyone knew somewhere/someone who would be able to find this part for me?

I got this idea from here:

Anyone who has changed oil in a GMT400 truck will have noticed that it drains directly through the front u-joint. Since...

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. My junkyard doesn't have one and I've been scanning all across the internet with no success.
