More Suspension-Related Horror

Here's a picture of what I discovered when I tapped out the front hanger shackle bushing shell on the driver's side:
Was hard to see previously because the inner shell was not rusted and had become the same shade of road-grime as the leaf spring hanger.  The whole hanger needs to be replaced, which will involve cutting it off from the frame and welding a new one back.  Not interested in buying a welder this month, so I'm going to hope that vertical sections of the hanger are sufficiently strong for rolling in and out of the garage, and I'll come back to this later (but before leaving the driveway...).
