Conceptually what would be the difference between what Chassis Enginnering or street rod companies sell and what you can buy for making trailers?

Is it that the trailer mounts are for flat stock?

I have a 46 Ford that will need parrelel leaf springs and I don't want to pay $131.00 for the brackets they sell if I can get them for $40.00 at the local store.

Also I want to trade out the closed driveline on my 53 chevrolet truck for a rearend from a 77 chevy truck. Do you just weld the mounts on the axle to meet where the original axle goes?
