I've also seen some cross reference lists that say bronco II or E-150 shackles will work too.
Not the same.

There are different parts: Shackles are
not the same as shackle brackets.
Shackle brackets are riveted (as original) to the frame rails. The shackles themselves attach to the springs, then to the shackle brackets.
What do you need, the shackle brackets, the shackles, or both? Ford originally sold the shackles by themselves, or as a kit which also included the bushing.
The following fit:
1973/79 F100/150 2WD.
