Help with Trailing Arms - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In a couple of weeks, I will be getting a set of trailing arms for my 69' SWB Step Side. This truck originally came with leaf springs and can't wait to do the swap. I will have all of the hardware necessary but am missing one (major) component. The bracket that attaches the the trailing arms to the axle.

I have been told that I can purchase this bracket (where?) OR, I can change the rear end. OR can one be fabricated?

I hear that trailing arms are the way to go. Does anyone have any suggestions?
