Price from a scrap yard yard should be low, dont go to a car junkyard go to a regular salvage yard. The place I go to lets me load up my whole trunk (prolly a good 150-200#) of leaf springs and coil springs and charges me 5 bucks, plus I always find some crane cable or some nifty drive chain as well. The heavy truck springs with 5 or more leafs seem to come up with less cracks, if you have access to an oxy.acet torch rig it makes the process of dissasembly much easier, I stick one end of the bundle in a vise and blow off the bolts, they snap apart pretty easy. Then you can torch em to size and even profile a bit if you want with the torch. Also try any truck spring repair shops, they might let you have old ones for free just to get rid of em.
