Post Rear leaf spring replacement

I have a 1966 F-250 Camper Special, 2WD with a 352 V8. It is in overall good condition with respect to the body, interior, and mechanicals. These trucks are incredibly stout.

Prior to coming to me, the truck's life was spent on a central Oregon farm. Thus, the right rear corner is sagging visibly-- about 1.5 inches.

Can anyone help with sources of replacement leaf springs? Alternatively, will another year of Ford truck leaf springs fit, and where are these available from? I've read volumes of the discussions in this forum, but haven't seen a solution to my topic.

Thanks to everyone, the knowledge base here is great.
Chris

Try eaton detroit spring. They have replacement springs that can keep the same ride height or lower your truck...

You can also try a local spring shop if there's one near you. I did that with mine when I needed just one or two of the leaves replaced.

Chris, I just bought NEW ones from ESPO springs and things last week for my 79 F-150. They were $210.00. I couldn't get them that cheap at a LOCAL spring shop. Even with shipping they were still less. Good luck, Phil
