Leaf Spring Help

I need a set of OEM front leaf springs for an 84-96 F350 (going into a 1988) with monobeam (Dana 60) I am on an extremely limited budget and cannot afford $250+ for new ones.

the springs I seek have the spring code on them of 43-516 from what I understand they would have been found in the 460 and diesel equipped trucks.

Thanks in advance if any of you can help me out.

+1 on the junk yard. I just found one on the way home from work that has about 10 fairly complete f-series trucks. I forsee a lot of time and money being spent there in the near future....gonna go pull some doors off an f350 today and got me thinking about doing a SAS.

Good luck on junk yards. Front axles and anything to do with Solid axle Dana 60's are ALWAYS gone.
