Default Shoebox Front Shocks

Does anyone have recommendations for front shock absorbers on a 1950 Ford V8 Sedan?

The cheapies on Rock Auto don't appear to have all the bushings needed.

Google the words "1950 ford Sedan shock absorber kit" and stuff like this appears. Looks complete.

Note: rear shocks limit axle hang down so wrong ones[short] and the tire will not come off.! Newc
