maybe Grainger, or other industrial parts distributors.
they may have minimum order levels

Jegs, Summit racing?
 
Local paint and body supply places. But they are probably expensive.

The dealership told me they're available only with the purchase of a WHOLE bed, since that's what their computer lists them as belonging to. WTF? Ford's reasoning, he said, was that on some lesser model, the line happens to clip to the bed. That's stupid. It made no sense to either one of us, but he could not get them separately.

Those brake line clips are a weird shape, fitting into an elongated hole (approx. 1/4" by 1/2"), which makes them unique. I think JY is the only source, nowadays. I also didn't want zip-ties, nor drilling more holes in frame.

I gave up searching. I ended up reusing the old clips, which were designed to hold a 5/16" diameter (wire-wound) brake line. My photos ( http://imgur.com/a/sUnMy ). So I covered my brand new 3/16" O.D. brake line with a cheap 5/16" O.D. plastic tube from Home Depot. Fwiw, this also protects against flying gravel, same as original wire-wound did.

Let us know if you find a supplier?

Ok , I can see not wanting to use cable ties where you can see them. But up inside the frame rail? I don't use them, unless I pick them up from a job. I prefer waxed lashing twine. We had to use it at the phone company. Done right it is an art form. As a bodge, it is right up there with duct tape and baling wire. I use it when ever the original fastenings snap. :D
