1960 4x4 D24 mounting brackets

Does anyone have a source for these brackets to mount the Dana 24 transfer case in a 1960 truck?

I have all the rest of the running gear to make a 2wd into vintage 4wd except these D24 mounting brackets. Numberdummy or anyone know if there are any available?

I had a Dana 24 with the mounts, unfortunate that was sold with the 292. I just looked and found a divorced Dana 24 of Facebook Marketplace (Logan Smith) in Cloverdale, CA. They're selling the whole transfer case, but you can see the mounts right on it in one of the pics. Might be worth reaching out to see if they would take them off and mail to you?

My plan is to obtain these brackets and then find a nice candidate to upgrade to period correct 4x4 with the refurbished vintage parts.

Looks like you should be able to make a set that are close enough that almost nobody could tell were not original.

The brackets appear to be bent 1/4” plate 14.5” long. Theoretically could weld plates together to approximate these but it would take a large break to bend these...

You could also heat them up and bend to shape and even attch a gusset if you wanted.
