1872 1/2 ton spring cup

When putting my truck on the lift friday, I noticed that the
driver rear sagging and when investigated found the rear spring was not connected to the frame, It appears that the housing or cup for the spring has rusted away. Is this common?where could I secure another to replace it with? (new). Is there anything I need to know before replacing it?..............Thanks in advance...........Joe

All of the board vendors sell the spring cups or maybe search the parts board.

Is it a Studebaker?I know they built stuff back then,but they called them Hacks or wagons.Is it the traverse-type leaf?I don`t know of another type of spring until well after the turn of the century(the last century).
