Clem,
More often than not, there won't be any washers. The only washers that Ford utilized were hardened flat washers in the rare instance the cotter pin hole in the bolt didn't line up with the slotted nut properly.
If you have the correct U-bolts and bars then simply crank the nuts down as tight as you can and install a cotter pin to each.
There is no specification from Ford for this area that I am aware of.
