leaf spring brackets

My dad has a 96 f150. The rear brackets on the frame for the leaf springs have rusted and torn through. Is this common? and where do I find new ones? Ive looked all over.

if you have 4x2 you need 2.5" wide
4x4 is 3" wide.

computer at dealership had only 2.5 for all f150 models which made me have to wait a day to go back and get the right ones.

Common once the paint start to peel need to get after them. NPD $34.00 or LMC have them our sponsors. But you can get them at any aftermarket supplier . (wreckers body shop) Way cheaper than them. I have use the after market ones on several trucks and I haul with mine . ie. fire wood stacked above cab. And in a couple 100000 miles on several trucks had on problem with them. But yes eBay has really good prices on em.
