Drill/tap the end and use a jam nut on the bushing with the threaded end.

Buy tube ends from a place like www.chassisshop.com. If you go to that webpage on the homepage it shows a pic.

or... weld a nut (that matches your rod end) to the end plate with a hole drilled in it, then weld it to the tube with the nut on the inside of the tube.

I looked at the pictures in Chris Alston's Chassis shop catalog and fabbed my ladder bar susp. simular to their pro street set-up.

here's a pic, sort of....

How wide are the tires in the pics.... Very interested in doing this to my truck and was wondering if you would share some more details about the back.
