leaf spring bracket rusted out

Hey guys. My dad's truck was riding rough lately and after checking it out, we found that the rear brackets (one the shackle is attached to) for the rear axle are rusted out. The right side is so bad that the shackle was up against the bed! How much hassle will it be to replace these? Are we looking at a day job or a few days? I have a torch, so burning the rivets off is no problem, I'm just not sure where to get the brackets. Its a 97 F250-HD extended cab short bed. Its up on jack stands now, but I'll try to get a picture with my cell.

Thanks, Trevor
