Ball joint spacers for 1981 PU?

1981 2wd pickup. I'm looking to put spacers on my front end but all I can find is for 1984+, can't find anything for my 81. Doesn't look like the ones for 84+ will fit but I could be wrong. The spacing for the bolts is approximately 2 1/4" between the 2 farther back and 2 3/4 - 3" between the ones closer to the tire. Didn't take off my tire to measure so I could be off by a little. Anyone know where I can get spacers for my year or if the ones for 84s will work/can be made to work?

I also have a 2WD 81 pickup and having the same problem. Can’t seem to find spacers for the front ball joints. Was wondering if you ever found some?
