Did you find the plans on the site for the cab mounting brackets or are you going to buy a kit?

Re: my 1950 project
Going to finish all the welding on the cab except the cab corners and the cowl panel this weekend, getting them next month. We are also going to start sandblasting the fenders, bed and maybe some of the cab
