You could probably make the 70-72 bracket work, the bolt holes will be in the same place, the difference is the type of shock used. I would only go this route if I was going to changeover the shock mounts on both sides and replace both shocks. So I hope the lead ND gave you on the 1 remaining shock mount pans out. Otherwise, have to find off a donor truck or scour the junkyards.

Post #2 = JEFFFAFA gave it to the OP first .. I was just backing up what he said, posted the parts catalog pic that shows the applications.
Just fix the one you have. You are going the have to drill and chisel out rivets, so why not try drilling out the broken stud and replace it with a bolt and weld the head to the bracket? Just a thought.
