Exclamation Project truck

Hi everyone I'm building a custom 4x4 truck and I need some help. What my project is, is a 1929 Ford "Model A" crew cab that I am making into a 4x4. The wheelbase of my truck is 139" and I need to know either what Ford truck has an equal wheelbase to what I need or where I can find the spring towers and forward leaf spring hangers off of a '73-'79 F-150 or a '78-'79 bronco. All info will be appreciated so please help any way you can.
Thanks,
S_duty_dude

As for the towers and hangers, you should try some junk yards (locally or on the internet) or you could check with Jeffs Bronco Graveyard (broncograveyard.com). They have numerous parts for older Broncos.
Good Luck.
