rusty floor/cab mounts

I have a 1975 supercab f150 that has rusted and been repaired more times than I've probably filled the gas tank. I'm at the point where I would like to just cut the whole bottom front half of the cab off and weld a new one in- front cab mounts and all.
Does any one know what year trucks use the same cab mounts in front, and the metal under the doors. I assume 73-79 will work but how about the 80-86's?

If you are going to cut it all out at the same time you need to brace the top and the fire wall. That way the doors still fit, And the gap around the doors aren't to big or to small.
