If the one ton is the same as the 3/4 ton, they had lever action shocks. Look on your rear axle for some lower tabs that look like shock mounts that's where the connecting rod attached (just like a modern shock with eye-type lower mount bracket). The body of the lever assembly was bolted with two bolts to the frame forward of the front of the rear axle.
I replaced mine in favour of some gas shocks, just made a bracket for the upper shock that bolted into the original holes so I didn't have to drill holes in the frame. Used the lower tabs as intended and an upper eye mount. My originals actually seemed to still work, but they were missing the lower link bars but...
