Rear shock mount same between 1/2 and 3/4?

I just pulled this from my 3/4 ton because of a broken bolt. I have found some in a junkyard from a 1/2 ton but the shock mount pin looks smaller on the 1/2 ton.

But the more I think about it, I'm wondering if my existing mount has some kind of spacer over it to make it a larger diameter... I've never replaced these, do new rear shocks come with a spacing kit? I could use help quickly, the truck rides like a pogo stick without these on!

Thanks!

Anyone? Was really hoping to get this fixed today before the wrecking yard closes...

I think it looks like the 'spacer' is rusted on to the bolt. The spacer should come as part of a new shock.

Yep, depends on which shocks you buy as to how big the spacer is.

That's the inner shock bushing seized onto your shaft there. It would ordinarily be made into the lower shock bushing.
