Dana 60 coil spring swap into Dana 60 leaf truck

I have a 72 C20 Custom Camper with a rear leaf spring Dana 60 with 4.11 differential. I have a spare Dana 60 coil spring axle with 3.73 Posi that I'd like to swap in.

I know I've got to ditch the coil spring seats and weld on some leaf spring seats. Anyone have any idea where I would buy the seats I need?

Oh, and what is the proper term for these (seats, perches, saddles, etc)?

Thanks!

Yeah, I think that should work. Can I reuse the original square bend U Bolts and nuts?
