spring hanger question from a newb

[bigcountryboy]

first off i just wanna say hi to everyone. HI. i've recently picked up a '71 chevy k10 and noticed (after i got it home of course) that the front of the rear spring hanger has some cancer on it. i know the hangers aren't made anymore but was wondering if there are any hangers from other years or makes that would work. i have some welding skills but wanted to get a whole assembly if possible. i'll try to get some pics this evening of the bracket. i haven't been able to find a bracket like the ones i have on my truck. all of the 4x4 hangers that i have found pics of have the leaves positioned just barely below the frame rails and my brackets have the leaves positioned about 6 inches below the frame. has anyone ever seen that before. just curious about my options for leaf hangers on these trucks. thanks for any advice.
