One of these days I am going to change the cross-member mounts to '70's Ford F100 mounting attachments...I have a pair I harvested off of a '72 F100, it is a simple one hole application.
Several of the aftermarket rear tube shock applications use mounts that put the shocks vertical. I don't care much for that application because there is limited space for the shock between the tire and the body. Vertical front shocks work very well because there is ample room between the frame and the wheel,

I can't see the upper mount that the upper part of the shock bolts meets.
