1979 Front Spring Shackles Needed

Don't have any sources for parts like these, usually mess with older trucks and race cars.

Looking for a set of front spring mounts for a 1979 F350 Camper Special rearend. Anyone have any ideas? How about a Ford part number so our local "computer only" Ford dealer can try to find something?

Needing the front mounts that rivet to the frame on both rear springs.

Thanks all,
SPark

Also check National Parts Depot. I've found they have a decent number of the parts still available for these old beasts.
