That looks home made. Heavy duty for that little box!
You may need to do some measuring and possibly do some of your own fabrication.

What state are you in?
If I needed replacement shanks, personally, AgriSupply would be my first stop. They're a regional brand, though.

Like a brick **** house. Pretty nice looking welds, too.

They sell shanks at tractor supply and other farm stores. I’d just measure the holes and see if you can match up something.
Why do you say that?
You cant use the hole style shanks with that by the looks of it. It does look close to the design of a older hayse tooth ripper.

Well, all you need to do to pin some hole style shanks in place is cut some ~1/2-3/4" wide strips of angle iron, maybe 1 to 1.5" on a side, and weld them down on either side of the holes on that square tube with the points facing up, like an A. It looks like on the outer ones you might actually have to drill a hole through the side wall so that a pin inserted from the inside towards the outside wouldn't hit the wall, but that's no big deal. So, 8 small pieces of angle, 16 welds, maybe 2 holes. Would take 1-2 hours at a slow comfortable pace to be able to use the commonly available pin style shanks. I have seen them online for as little as $17/ea before shipping. On Amazon $119 shipped for 4 of em. link
With pics like this, how could you go wrong.
I wanna drive that tractor into water and see if it floats.. The jraphics on Vevor ads always crack me up.

How are the shanks supposed to be held in place on that box blade? I don't see any tabs for the locking pins that hold the shanks in place to go into.

I thought there were spring clips in that style? Those things sticking out diagonally in front of the shanks?

That is a very nice box blade! Certainly not homemade, looks like an older style Gannon or Woods. They use the spring clips to hold the shanks in. You should be able to get them from a local john deere dealer as well, it should be the same shanks and spring clips as a Frontier BB1284
This could get you started:
(EDIT: Removed photo as it was the incorrect style, see post 15)

The spring clips on mine are welded on:
The black arrow points to the missing spring ring for the short pin.
You are right, this is the long pin the OP needs:

Another consideration is slot spacing and front or rear slots.
Front slots:
Rear slot:
Also need to measure the openings to see if the top and bottom are the same length:

I was mistaken, the photo of the part that I posted is incorrect. I didn't notice this until xfaxman posted. The style you have xfaxman is not the spring clip the op needs, it is different.
This is the style you need... (see pic) and https://www.amazon.com/Gannon-Box-Shank-Spring-Clips/dp/B07KS4DGM7
Note: I wouldn't buy them from amazon, I'd go to the dealer if close by, in case you get the wrong size/style you can easily return them. I'll edit my original post to avoid confusion.

If you zoom in to this photo you can see how the shank looks through the steel, and you might be able to see the spring clip.

There are two different styles of spring clips.
Your type works if the top opening in the square tube holder is wider than the bottom opening.

Little but Mighty. Check Land Pride if you have a dealer near. My 1272 Land Pride Box Blade has spring clips the has those held in place at the notches. I would guess they sell them for not too much. I also broke a tip on one of mine - replaced the tip for $17 from Kubota.
As mentioned before - AgriSupply is a has several different sizes. Might measure the holes and see if any will work on that box. Also measure the length after the attachment to make you can raise enough when not used or lower enough when rippers are needed. These pictures show them raised in the highest notch and do not interfere is not needed.
