Default Shock mounts?

I'm looking for shock mounts as mine are flaking and I want to replace everything I can. I've found some, but nothing I find has the quad or dual shock mounts. What I mean by this is I have 2 shocks and a coil on each side in the front. Does anyone know where to get these and not run me a fortune or am I better off to downgrade and get a tower for just the single shock setup?

The quad shock mounts are hard to find. They have an entirely different upper spring mount that has both upper shock mounts. Only place I have found them new is broncograveyard.com and they are spendy. The hardest part is replacing the lower part of the shock mount forward of the axle - I am pretty sure it is part of the I beam or knuckle.

Surprisingly that bottom stud isn't too bad. The entire bucket/mount themselves have seen beetle days. It's almost worth it to replace it now rather than cause more problems down the road.

A salvage yard is probably your best bet price wise - but the logistics of getting them out yourself would be troubling. You'd be grinding out rivets. But it might beat spending $300 + shipping.
