I bought an old 12 bolt Posi rear end that was previously installed in 55 chevy with leaf springs so they removed the brackets for shocks, springs and lower control arms.
Any ideas where to purchase these or possibly remove from and old 10 bolt rea end

Pick up a donor 10 bolt, same parts and they’re cheap. -----------------------------------------------------------
THAT IS EXACTLY CORRECT!!!!
The 12bolt in our 70 came from a salvaged 71 El Camino which had the lower trailing arms all bent up. I ran across a junk 10bolt and VERY CAREFULLY cut off the brackets on both housings and welded the brackets from the 10bolt onto the 12bolt. Been like that for about 12yrs.
