1967 F600 cab supports

To the best of my knowledge the following is how the dentside / bumpside F-500+ cabs differ from standard pickups:
Cab mounts: taller than normal, have about 3" lift built into them - maybe standard could be used + a spacer?
Firewall: around hood hinge area because hinges mount off of firewall instead of off fenders / where the steering column exits the cab is lower - almost through the floor / dash is different but interchangeable (the pickup guys love to pirate these guage clusters)
Transmission tunnel: shorter - only a couple of inches tall
Doors and windows interchange between tha smaller trucks with the exception of the 73-78 door handles being the same as the 76 - 72 handles.
My '69 F600 is in great shape except for one floor board and all the rubber - which isn't very much rubber. The only big truck specific rubber (I think) is the rubber boots for the shifter and park brake handles. Anyone know where to get these? Or find something else similar that can be made to work? Does anyone know if the weld in replacement floor pans from a smaller truck will fit?
Please feel free to add and/or correct my mistakes. This is just what I've found out through searching around on the net.
