Need part info help!

Hey guys- 1996 F250, 7.3L turbo Diesel, 4600lb front axle, Dana/Spicer 50.

Destroyed a front axle shaft a couple weeks ago- what started as a simple u-joint replacement has turned into a full blown front end overhaul. replaced ball joints, wheel bearings, tie rods, brake rotors, both outer u-joints, left inner and outer shafts, even the little axle needle bearings.

but I'm having trouble finding the correct seals for the axle shafts. the wheel bearing seal was no problem, the inner axle seal was a little work but i found it. But all the places i look give me weird looking seals... NONE of the local parts stores have been much help. everything in their system is incorrect. Neither has the local Ford Dealership. they kept giving me the wrong size ball joints even though they went by the vin... they dont know what seals im even talking about. I dont know what is going on here. can someone point me in the right direction? all i need are the seals and i can get this baby back together and back on the road!!!
