2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission front coil spring mounts on axle

[Loghead]

97 4x4 2500
One of the coil spring mounts is so badly rusted that I dare not run the truck without repairing it.

Question:
Does anyone know of a commercially available repair part, or should I just get busy fabricating?

Can you just reinforce it? Cut some 1/4 plate to shape and weld them in over the weak spots? Unless it's bad enough it's easier to just completely remove and start over...I've not seen any of those buckets available new anywhere. Another option could be to go to a salvage yard and see if you can't find a good solid one and cut it out from the donor truck.
