are you talking about the rubber bumpers on each side of the frame arch?

Yes, can you clarify please Steve?
I like digging for old stuff like that.

underneath the rear frame arch to stop the axle from hitting the frame. one on each side about 4 in long 2 in high and 2 in wide with a bolt hole at each end to screw into the frame.

I see your after the top ones on the frame, I have ones that go on the diff and push into a slot, not the ones your looking for.
Not sure on the 70's but the assy manual for 69 refers to a top rubber insolator for the top of the spring.

Tamaraz's on Ebay has them Steven.
Rather pricey at $18 USD. But they're a item that was not even available or repoped until just recently.
I ended up using two of the best used ones I had, and they were pretty worn and torn. Nothing was available then.
I'll bet Dale at NOS could get them. Or try Antique chevrolet in Oakville.

heard the energy susp. stops for jeeps are very close to the b-body ones steve. i still don't have a set on the bel air frame yet.
no rubber seats are used on the front or rear b-body springs.

i was over at a friends shop crying about the bump stops and he pulled these out of a cupboard and asked if i could use them. only half a inch off and the steel strap is removable. they're for a ford but what the hell.
