What are my options when the rear leaf spring mount breaks?

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't realize the parts were replaceable.
The frame is in good shape still but I'll have to look a little closer at the condition of the other shackles as this one that broke was a surprise to say the least.
I did some research and found a place close to me, Donovan Spring Company, in Londonderry, NH. Complere kits with hardware. About $50 per side, parts in stock.
Thanks again for the help! I honestly thought this was going to be a headache.

Okay so you guys that have used a 4" grinder for this have way more patience than I ever will. After 10 minutes of grinding, I decided to break out the oxy/acetylene and blow the heads off. Much easier!
There was a small amount of material still holding the mount to the frame so I pryed it off then used a flat punch to smash the bolts out.
Now I just gotta do the other side.
