leaf spring replacement brackets for crewcab??

Hey guys, I just got my crewcab 4x4 frame sandblasted this last weekend, should be getting it back from the painter/sandblaster this weekend. I'd like to start getting my running gear bolted back in place so I can start on the body...but... My rear spring shackles are rusted through and weak, and the rear front mount for the leaf spring looks thin in some spots. Is there a place that you can buy brand new ones at??? I have looked at all the salvage yards around my area and they all look the same as mine. I was thinking of buying new stuff for the superduty trucks and bolting those to my frame, what do you think of that idea?? Thanks fellas, let me know if you have any ideas! I'll get some pics posted of the crewcab after I get the frame back, before pics are already in my gallery.

How many CREWS do we have in this site, I'd love to see pictures of the rest of your trucks, I've seen a couple so far in the galleries, but I'd like to see what else is out there. I think the old crewcabs are the coolest looking trucks ever built!
