Broken coil spring question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The pig tail end of one of the springs on my 61 Step-side broke about 3 inches up from the pig tail end. Is there a coil spring seat that can be used now to hold it down to the trailing arm? Knowing I'd have to cut the good spring and duplicate everything for both sides to match, just wondering if replacing the seats would be possible and less expensive than new springs themselves.
Any ideas?

Not that I can think of but you might think about replacing both springs to be safe
