1979 Shocks gone bad

Hello everybody, I have a 1979 chevy k10 custom deluxe. It has a 5.7 in it and has a 3 inch lift. The shocks that were on it are shot- they were Ranchos.

Is their any really cheap shocks for a 3 inch lift? I would prefer something low budget, since I need all 4. Anything between 30-70$.

Thanks a lot, found the size and it's insanely cheap. I was a little worried and thought I had to stick with my stock suspension. My father told me he could only find shocks for 80-100$ a piece.
