Here's where I found them Universal Leaf Spring Sliders They'll need a bit of fab work to mount.

I’m selling all the suspension parts I had accumulated for my (now-sold) project. Rear Suspension (all new parts from Mancini, bought last year) - 8.75 spring seats (has surface rust due to not getting installed & painted) - B-body shock plates - ARE front spring hangars (to use E-body XHD...

Rear Suspension parts arrived. (Haven’t ordered shocks yet. Or swaybar) And, started welding practice with Fluxcore. It didn’t turn out too bad. If it’s clear/dry in the morning I’m going to give the 6011 rods that I bought awhile ago a try. I’ve got some welding coupons on the way, and...

Well, time for a couple updates. Upper Control Arms for the SC300 subframe showed up. They only cost me $45.

I’m sorry for your loss. :C

And the cavernous space left over….

Looks to be vacuum-operated. I think so. it's a monster compared to what's going to replace it.

It’s a monster compared to the unit that is going in to replace it.

It’s finally out. There’s 5 screws in the engine bay holding it on.
