The Ford Barn

I've been reading through a lot of the old posts on shocks and still have a couple questions. It seems the two main options out there are either well rebuilt originals or modern shocks. However, originals are extraordinarily expensive and modern shocks just don't look right. Has anyone had any luck or found another solution to this problem? I know it would be going against manly rules but are there any other period shocks out there that could be easily found and used with out immense overhead or any modifications to the A? I have a 30 pick up without any shocks on it currently and since the rebuild of the front end seems to have quite a bit of bump steer now that everything is tight. Any suggestions or ideas are more than welcome. Thanks in advance!

Friction shocks slow down the bumping. Other than that there are no other solutions I know of.

Originals
Reproductions
Tube
Friction

I bought a nice set of rebuilt originals in the $300 price range. Ithought that was reasonable.
