Does anyone know which struts will bolt onto an E3/E9 hub?

I'm planning on modifying some front struts for my '69 2800 (E3) and want to use something easier to find than E3/E9. Any ideas? E12 maybe? Anything later? I'll only need the bottom six inches of the strut, the part that bolts onto the hub. I'm trying to avoid fabricating the mount.

Went thru my strut pile and found that the E3, E12 and E24 struts have a common mounting pattern for the steering arm.

Left to right E12, E3, E24. At the top is an E23 strut which is definitely different.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to adapt this air strut to a stock hub/spindle, thinking I could use the bottom of a strut and fabricate a bracket to bolt on to. I'm keeping the stock strut in case I want to scrap the project and go back to OEM.

Yes, I suppose cutting the bottom off the air strut would be an option if I had to. If I don't use the air setup it would be harder to resell if I cut them but wouldn't stop me from doing it.
