Shock help

Does anyone have any ideas for shocks on the front of my 1959 f100
it has a 1979 d44 front axle. the steering arm is coming from the back of the axle because its a 59 but the arm goes over the shock mount from the 79

Welcome to FTE! There are several guys around here with the 4x4's. My solution would be to cut the shock mount off and put it where it needs to be for you mongrol truck!
