Lower control arm help

Hey guys in the process of rebuilding/replacing the front suspension on my 71. I decided to change the u bolts and while I had the lower control arm off I though "hey why not the control arm shafts" well when I went to loosen up the left side it was loose, sloppy and had a lot of play. I was able to take it off by hand. Well today I take a closer look and see that it's cracked. My question to you guys...is this lower contral arm fixable??? Should i put the money to fix towards a new control arm instead?? What are your thoughts guys?? Thanks in advance for all the help!

Fixable? Should I worry about this? Or hurry and buy a replacement? You can't really see the crack in this one but it's on the lower side of the picture.
