1976 f250 crew cab spring mount help

Hi all, I have a 1976 f250 crew cab that I am working on, but now I am ready to put a rear axle back under it. I bought an axle off of a 1975 f250 regular cab for this pickup, but the spring and shock mounts on the axle are not right and so I was wondering if you all might be able to tell me where I need to put the spring and shock mounts on the axle. Some specs are, Dana 60, 2 wheel drive, 4 speed transmission, 400 engine. Could someone please help me out here? Thank you!

Mount the springs on the truck & measure across from center pin to center pin to get the distance for the centers of the spring pads. Don't forget to set the correct pinion angle when you weld the spring pads on!

As for the shock mounts - they both go on the front of the axle if it's a 4wd.
