Rear end change; Shock mount help

Anyone swapped a '73 up leaf rear into a '70 coil frame? I have one with a flip kit on it and need to know what's the best way to remount my shocks.

The shocks on a coil spring truck don't even mount to the rear end. You need the proper axle saddles welded on and a panhard mount of some kind.
