Help with shock mounts.

OK i just sold a perfectly good 78 f150 and then bought a 78 f250 supercab that has clutch problems and no front shocks and some other minor issues. im begining to think that im kinda dumb. anyhow. now i gotta figure out what to do with my front shocks.

The PO had cut off the front shock mounts on the frame with a torch and then cobbled together some crap dual shock mounts. they have both broken off, were when i bought. well now it dont drive for crap and all that so i need to get that fixed. what do i do? i dont want to weld some more crap on and need the shocks back on. i want to do it right the first time so i dont have to worry about it again.

What would cause my front end to "dance" around when driving. Is that all in the lack of shocks? or is it something else
