Hey guys? Looking for a Track Bar relocation bracket

I've got a 69 C10.
I swapped out a rear 93 read end with 5 lug and better gears.
I cut off the track bar bracket on the axle to relocate it. Sadly, I junked the bracket.
Now I'm looking for a site where I can order the Track Bar "Bracket alone relcation"
(keep in mind I put a 4/6 drop on it, lol)

Any ideas where from???

Thanks!

(the photo below is just a random google image to see the bracket idea I'm talking about, not that set, just an idea so you know what I'm talking about))

Personally I would use a Super Track Bar from ECE.
They work alot better because they are longer and they attach to the trailing arm vs the axle housing.
Look here:

Re: Hey guys? Looking for a Track Bar relocation bracket

lol
Well I went to a junk yard this morning...no luck sadly. I learned a stupid lesson though: "newer vehicles they don't use Track Bars, no pun included" lol Where I WILL have to make one for this obstacle....so that's where the junk yard time came in.

So, that bracket you showed me in the above photo....attached by the U-Bolt...where can I get that solo and not have to buy the whole kit? Any sites you might see? and did you weld it to the frame on the bottom side there?? And I guess theres is enough room for it on the tip of the frame! I was thinking "maybe I could attach something there behind (where you did) the U-bolt? and sure enough you did, so I can!! Now its a matter of where do I find that "bracket" solo instead of the kit??

Oh yeah, the Track bar alone is gonna have to be a humongous fabricated piece to reach that distance. lol Well as far as a guess.
