Functionally, you likely do not need the full timber block Ford used. A short (about 4" front to back) spacer for the #2 and # 3 body bolts with a spacer covering between the # 4 body mount and front bed mount (the front bed mount timbers stack onto a "tail" of the body block" should do the job. Note the #1 cab bolt is direct to frame (except for a single layer of webbing).
Thanks for the information Karl. I would prefer to make it as original as possible. So the ford ones would be my preference. I’ll keep looking
