So the driver's side door of my truck is completely worn out. The roller and spring for the door check is missing completely. I installed new bushings and pins, but the bushings were crap and pretty much crumbled. I am going to install new, better ones but I have no idea where I can get a new spring and roller for the check.

I looked around but couldn't find anything. I swear I've seen them before but can't remember where.

Truck is a 1998 2500HD Chevy, OBS 6.5TD truck.
 
I don't know if they are the same, but I have changed the DS hinges,pins/bushings on my 98 S-10 3 times. The check spring shot out like a rocket and about hit me in the face the second time I fixed it. If you or the PO waited too long to fix the loose hinge like some guy I know did o_O, then the holes the bushings/pins fit into are probly egg shaped and the shitty bushings won't last long being loose when the door swings. Some of the bushings I got looked like powdered metal and some were bronze and lasted longer. I imagine the dealer has the best ones. Before the last time I fixed it the upper pin fell out when I opened the door because the stupid design of the tin cap retainer had popped off, so I drilled a hole through the end of the top pin and stuck a cotter pin through it and w a big stainless flat washer under the C pin to keep the HP tight and not let it slip down anymore.
