I found one used on e-bay, but I have yet to find a new one. I am bumping this for more answers.

thanks for the link.  I never found it in there.   

This is what I am looking for, the big stainless plate that fits in the recess between the tail lights.

You're better off finding a used one (eBay), new ones are hard to find, overpriced cheap knock-offs.
I spent months looking for one for my truck before I found one off a junkyard chevy. If you have a rural junkyard around, go there. they seem to be goldmines for these old trucks.
