Ford F150 rear axle?

hey guys i have a 1993 ford f150 4x4 with the 4.9l straight six. Right now my truck has an open differential in the rear. I would really like to change this over to posi. I was wondering if i should look around and get a whole rear axle that is limitied slip, or should i look into getting a locker of some sort? And which do you think would be cheaper?

Finding an entire rear axle would be the easiest to do and probably cheapest to.
