Battery cable sizes??

Hey guys I am changing over to military battery terminals on one of my trucks and trying to order some lugs but finding a lot of conflicting cable sizes online. Does anybody happen to have the correct cable sizes for a 2000 F350? Figured it would have been in the tech folder but couldn't find it there either. I did this years ago on another truck but unfortunately I didn't make notes. Thanks for any help
On edit: if anybody has a good source for quality lugs that would be great also. Would like to order on Amazon but want to make sure I get good quality

Most folks go up a size or two on their cables, for battery connectors I use FTZ, about the best that I can find, Bay Marine Supply area great folks to work with

sounds like he just wants to convert the factory cables to fit on the military style clamps/ terminals

Here’s part of what he said:

Sorry I probably wasn't clear but I was switching over to military style battery terminals and just need to find the correct size lugs to crimp on original battery cables

You’re probably already aware but when buying your lugs (1/0, 2/0, etc.) also check the ring size of the terminal for a good fit over the bolt 0f the military style battery post clamp as those are offered in different sizes as well.
