Just a heads up that Elroy's Alignment in Lakewood replaced the trailing arm on my daughters 84 SD for $175 labor. I thought that was a very reasonable price if anyone else needs that work. I provided him with a used arm. I haven't crawled under and checked the work yet but I did drive it home successfully. I've used that shop for suspension work for over 30 years.

I think I figured out why the old one rusted out. The spring seat had caused a hole in the arm so water could get inside the arm and cause the rust.
