Not sure where you might find cheap other than in a wreck. You could IM Benny in Vendor section at All Mopar Parts, part should be RAMAUDWHLKIT. Unbelievable how much they went up in price, I paid $47.44 including tax in 2019.

I'm perfectly fine with used, the rest of the truck has about 100k on it, no reason for that trim piece to be brand new

This may be your best bet - offer them $50, worst they can say is no. Running the VIN for the build sheet shows it has them.

Another trick is to put it in your watchlist on eBay and many sellers have automatic triggers to send you there best offer after a day or two of being in your list.
I've done that before too

I'm hoping that taking the weight of the steering wheel out, they may save enough on shipping to make this worth it

I would be wary of used switches, mine are in dire need of cleaning. Sticking and not connecting

You can actually pop the buttons out pretty easily without disconnecting them and/or removing the wheel if you need to clean them. I popped mine out to reverse the direction of next track...

I should do that with my sliding rear window button, it drives me crazy that when I push the button to the left the window slides to the right

Yeah, I guess they think you'll be using the mirror to adjust?
