Default Leaf Spring help

I have a 66 mustang in the process of restoring. The body work is nearly finished. I just got orders overseas, and will have to store the car outside for the next 3 years. The rear springs rusted in half and there are no used springs for old fords due to the same problem. I don't have nor want to spend 200+ on new springs to sit in the grass for 3 years. Are there any other used (cheap) springs that will fit enough to make my mustang a roller? I dont intend to do anything but roll it on and off a trailer with them.

Thanks
Bob

I'm sure someone has some old springs lying around, I just wanted to suggest you put some kind of a vapor barrier under the car to prevent moisture from rising up from the ground. Otherwise the whole car could be severely rusted and springs would be the least of your worries.
