Does anyone recognize this offset trailing arm?

My wife says I have an incurable disease in that whenever I see a Corvette for sale, I buy it. That is not true; I passed on several over the weekend. However, in a fit of weakness. I did buy two 79 L-82s recently; a red automatic with gold? cream? colored interior and a black 4 speed. Both have mirrored t tops and both have pretty low miles.

Anyway as the photos show, I have an offset trailing arm to install on the black 4 speed as the original owner installed one side but not the second. I cannot find the bushings and am hoping someone will recognize the piece and direct me to the manufacturer so I can order bushings.

Second, the last photo depicts some bags of parts from a company that I think was based in Flor

ida. Is this now the company that is based in Michigan?

VB&P is out of business. Van Steel can probably help you. Also Energy Suspension has universal stuff you just need the measurements.

They look like the trailing arms that Van Steel sells. Measure the ID of the bushing hole and call them, they should be able to help you.
