Are you talking about an EB or a later model? 78-79 have the shock mounts seperate from the coil bucket, not sure how many bolts hold it on.

I beleive your looking for 78/79 bronco or F150 (Prob any year pre 80 F150) spring buckets...or

sounds like a 78/79 bronco bucket. the shock tower ius separate and there are 5 bolts holding it on. four in the side of the bucket and one on the bottom. good luck.

I will look for the 78/79. I went to the junk yard and most of the bronco,s have a shock tower in the bucket and the have 1 bolt with 5 3/8 inch rivets. this makes it inpossible to remove them with a torch or grinder. i was told there are spring bucket only towers with 5 bolts to remove them like this last guy mentioned
Thanks Mike

I think they are pretty cheap from ford. I heard of someone getting some coil buckets for around $20 a piece. I am not sure if it is the exact ones you are looking for though.
