These things bolt on, right? Might it be better if I bolt them on and the weld them?
I found one on ebay for 35...snatched that up...broncograveyard.com wants 52 each..
Gotta have em though...truck is riding on leaf springs right now...that won't do!

Years ago I robbed a couple off a 2wd F150 in a scrapyard for my 76 F150 4x4... Place was near you, in Columbus, IN (hometown) and I think I paid like $10 apiece. But not before I drove around with just leaf springs for a couple months. Ugghhh.
Wouldn't feel too bad about paying $35 each. These things were a royal pain to get off the donor truck. Not worth the money I saved!

Have you checked with a Ford dealer?? I bought some for my 87, 86, 89. for $13 each. Yes I know they are different but the shocks could be changed. Not sure about the bolt hole spacing though. I'll check tomorrow. I changed the both in my 79 and 86 and 87, used a grinder in the heads, then a punch to drive the rivets through. Grade 5 bolts will work ok, but, grade 8 would be better.

Yea, I definitely would. My frame has a small hole on the passenger side that I found when I took the old shock mount off. The shock mount was full of rust and salt probably just sat inside of it and rotted it.
