Default Broken Leaf Spring - Replacements?

Hey guys,

Just finished replacing all the bushings on the passenger side leaf springs. Moved over to the driver side and once I dropped the leaf spring I found the the one leaf under the top leaf broken in two right where it was connected to the axle.

Is it possible to replace the one leaf? where to get a replacement leaf? I'd hate to have to buy a whole 5- leaf spring set up since it might not gel well with the other side I just rebuilt.

Any shops in your area that build springs? Not sure where you are located but someplace like this could replace the broken leaf.

I just removed a pair of multi-leaf springs to put the original mono-leaf in my 67 so I have a set for sale.
