Now that you have a part number or I assume so or can be cross referenced to the real firestone part, try calling some places on your own directly and see if they happen to have what you are looking for "magically" on the shelf now. What does it say the P/N is ?
Not super clear on the number on the original bag, 1T15M8 maybe?

I think it was the last safety we did on our trailer that had a few bags needing changed so decided to do all 6 of them. Thought it would be no big deal. Wrong. There was a couple in Canada, 3 somewhere in the southern states, and 1 somewhere else in the states. Took about 2 weeks to get them all, funny thing, they seem to be a bit of a rare bag but the price was no different than the rest. Looked like any other bag to me, not sure what was different.

I looked up that number SWMan and while that number was a good number I get the idea the actual rubber bellows is a part number itself but doesn't actually tell the whole story due to the hardware options on either end that could use the same rubber bellows. So unfortunately I believe the actual part number for the whole assembly as a unit is needed to work with to shop for. They don't make it easy and there is a reason for that, so one has to go to the dealer. I've done that various times with Peterbilt by pricing out a part at the dealership and getting the part number ( in person get a printout quote or by email ) and then going to FGI for example as they typically have no reference to a truck until one tells them a part number that was sourced from the dealership for your exact truck specs.

The parts were sourced using my truck serial #, the aftermarket parts box says equivalent to W01-M58-9372. Maybe that's the number. I do plan to check around a bit at some point, maybe try to find brand name for the second set of four bags and compare. I probably should start keeping spares too.

Yes that is how the part number typically looks for the firestone with that W, however they throw in that equivalent word which I gather then means it matches that spec to fit but isn't an actual firestone bag as of course a firestone bag will have its name on it ( mind you lets say an original equipment Peterbilt bag will say Pete on it but its made by Firestone ) . In any event as long as they matched the right number for your unit, that is the number you would specify.
For instance I searched that number on the traction website and came up with this, I can't log in so can't get price or availability but you can see the drop down of the specs and yes that number that shows up on your old airbag bellows.
