Help locating differential gears

I just lost the rear end in my F150. The right side spider gear scattered. I am having a great deal of difficulty finding a replacement gear set. The bone yards want a pretty penny for the whole carrier assembly. Anybody know where I can get stock replacement gears for this rear end? The tag marks are: WFE-AW 8MB 3L50 9 366A. It's in a 79 F150 4x4. Any assistance will be appreciated!

I would suggest searching thru our sponsor list. You may find something there.

From the numbers you posted, the axle should be a Ford 9", 3.50 ratio with a Trac-Lok factory limited slip. Maybe try Ford for the part?

I'm located in Rockford, IL... about 100 west of Chicago. I didn't realize these were locking gears. I'm not familiar with Ford's locker set up, so they just looked like regular spiders to me. Come to think of it, I can't really turn them freely by hand. Wyldstallyn, please drop me an email letting me know what you would want for them. Thanks all for the info.
