Ball joint dust boots.......HELP!

I am using an entire front suspension from a 1979 C10 under my '64, and I rebuilt it using all Moog components. Everything has been installed but not greased and torqued because the truck has been on jackstands. I am doing the final assembly and has discovered that all of the ball joint dust boots are torn and are falling apart. This isn't due to faulty installation. Those things are absolute garbage. Six months old, never been torqued or greased.

Here's my issue. Moog won't sell boots by themselves. The parts store boots are generic and thin and don't last long. I have checked both Energy Suspension and Prothane and they don't carry anything for a '73-'87 truck..They do have a chart that shows all of their universal boots, but none of them seem to be the right size.

Has anybody else had this issue on their '73-'87 trucks? What did you do?
