Broken leaf spring K-5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On my new K-5 I have a broken leaf in the drivers rear spring. It is in about half and is sliding out. Can I do the poor man's deal and replace just that leaf? I will probably replace all the springs some day but not now. Any advice?
