Looking at what I've got with the spring pockets (now that I've ground
down the rivets that were holding them to the short section of
torched-off frame I took home - in doing so burning the hell out of my
forearms somehow....) I'm going to have to do some fab to mate them to
the truck anyway. They count on a level frame, which of course I do
not have, so I'll be fabbing that 1/4" plate to attach to the frame,
and then weld some nuts to the back side of drilled holes in it for
mounting purposes.
