Most vendors seem to carry it. Classicparts has it for $5. http://www.classicparts.com/mobile/1.../#.WOoosTz3aaM

Re: 49 safety hood latch
Site is a bit tricky and it took me a bit of time to figure it out.
Open the link https://issuu.com/truckandcarshop/docs/ts_47-59_13_web then when the cover page of the catalog opens up swing your curser across the catalog an a slide bar should show up at the bottom with 1/158 on it on the left side. Slide the red dot to the right until page 75 or close enough to flip pages shows up. You can expand the page and then enlarge it again. See if that works.
