The only ones that I know of that will fit those spindles are the aftermarket ones from CPP and a couple others. If you want to use off the shelf parts you'll have to do it this way.

This is what I'll be doing to my Burb when I get some time.

Assuming from your user name and your sig. that you have a '69, the '81 rear end will be 1.5" wider that the 12 bolt you currently have. Plus you'll have to cut off the leaf spring pads, weld on the correct ones for the trailing arms, and fab a bracket to connect your panhard bar to the rear end. Then there will be small issues like e-brake cables and possibly the need for a conversion U-joint.
