Trailing arm brackets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone sell the brackets for mounting trailing arms. Looking to convert my leaf spring 3/4 ton to trailing arms with bags. Empty she rattles my fillings loose. Looking for the brackets that go on the crossmember, and weld on mounts to convert the D60 to go on the swingarms. Thanks.

I bought my perches from ECE when I swapped in my five lug axle. I don't know that I've ever seen the brackets that hold the trailing arm to the crossmember. I think you'd have an easier time just replacing the crossmember itself. I would have given you mine, but I hack it to pieces when I took it out to put in the lowered crossmember that i got from ECE as well. You may be able to find a used one on the parts board and save yourself some coin. Hope this helps.

Are these what you are looking for? I saw them on eBay the day I read your post. They are not mine.

If you can fab them, here is a drawing all you need is some 4 x 3 x 3/16" tubing.

No, those don't look like what i'm after. I'm wanting the hangers that attach the trailing arms to the crossmember. Wheres the drawing?
