Not sure what shape your cables are in but I'm running a cable set from a first gen powerstroke and there nice,

If your cables are fine put copper eyes on them and use the stud type battery terminal. If there lead and just out of adjustment use a hack saw to take a little meat out so they'll clamp down more.

Always more than one way to skin a cat
