cab mounts for a 83

I was wondering if it was possible to find replacement cabs mount for a 83
4x4 or if I need to just make new ones.

The floor boards above the mounts and the wedge shaped bracket that fits to the frame are rusted. We figured we could fab up some in the shop but was hoping for the easy way out. I guess its mig time.

Looks like time for new brackets and fllorboard rust repair (and be sure to fix whatever caused the rust). I've made replacement body mount brackets before:

Or cut some off a donor vehicle.
