Yep, I bought my 90 that way. The two middle leafs were missing behind the axle, with only the clamps holding the rest of the leafs.
Went to the local boneyard, told them what I needed, even which truck had them. Came back the next day, and I'm looking at a 5 leaf set-up off of a full size Bronco.(I have the four leaf set-up.)
Well, to make a long story short, I found out the two inside leafs on the passenger side were cracked, too. So I replaced both sides. Since I haul a lot of work tools and a camper, I figured I could use the extra support. Took me and a buddy about 3 hours to replace them(not hard if you have a torch and air tools).
Good luck with your rig.

I made 3 trips and they broke on the last one. Gotta love a 3/4 ton.
