1974 DT175 piston and rings was created by TDHoward

Hello,
New member. Just acquired a 1974 DT175A.
It had been rained on. For years apparently, and because the airbox was opened, the rings were INCREDIBLY stuck. Soaked in Marvel Mystery oil for about a week and I was able to get the head and jug off. But the rings were toast. I think the piston is salvageable, if I must, but I'd really rather kit the top end with all new. Any body have any leads, guy on ebay wanted like 30 bucks and $1000 (one thousand dollars) shipping.
Help a newbie out. Btw, I did search and didn't come up with anything.
TIA
