G'day, I'm half-way through putting a 76 supercab cabin onto a 71 F-350 frame, I had to fabricate new longer mounts than the originals... Not too hard, just a bit of mucking around with a welder. I threw out the rivets which hold the cab mount brackets to the frame, and replaced them with high tensile bolts.

Pretty sure the cab has both sets of holes for the two wheel drive frame, or the four wheel drive frame.

JB, Weld in some new plates to the frame and bore holes for the bolts.
