Busted Leaf Spring--Need Help!

Odd as it sounds, I busted 1 leaf spring in the pack. (this truck never leaves the pavement or hauls anything heavier than coffee cups) It busted in half and took out the shock as well. I bought new shocks, but i dont want to replace them until i fix the leaf.

Its the 3rd leaf one down from the top.( last full length leaf). It cracked in half from the center pin. I am having a hell of a time trying to buy just one leaf. Or even buying 1 for each side. Anyone got any ideas where I might find single leaf's online.

Or does anyone know of other year/make/models that could be used to rebuild the pack

I have searched every local scrap yard. It seems as soon as a yota hits a bone yard, its reduced to its frame in days!!

Thanks in advance
Jeff

p.s. Im hovering near 300k miles and Im trying to squeeze every last mile out of this truck. 22ish mpg w/ 3.4

just buy the spring packs off a similar year and model (ie ext. cab, double cab) that is in a Junk Yard. I know you said they are scarce, but check out www.car-part.com you should have no problems finding it here. Also if you pull the leafs yourself, you can take the shocks off the doner truck.
