If I were to purchace a set of Stipe shocks, what else would I have to buy in order to be able to install them correctly?

Well without seeing a visual on what you have, the 'textbook' answer is going to be that after Bill Stipe's shocks are mounted with the correct style bolts, you will need a set of shock arms and the bolt/nut/cotter pin that locks it onto the shock, ...and you will need a link to connect the arm to the perch/housing mount. There are a couple of options but originally they used a Tubular Link (which can be purchased from Vendors) or some folks use the later style links often referred to a "dogbones". Therefore you will need shock mounting bolts, shock arms, links, and the hardware for the previously two mentioned items.
