Have you called some truck parts stores such as LMC to see if they would know?

You have to get mounts specific to the frame year not the body, so you need 1980 body mounts for a 4x4. LMC won't have a clue about this if you call them.
The cabs are the same along with the mounting locations for 4x4 vs 4x2. The only big diff is the height of the trans tunnel.

cab mounts,,
va3jco,,,hello,,,just happen's to be a good day for me to be on,,lol...the reason is i learned the hard way about this swap and from my "SCREWUP"S" ,,the old school of hard knock's....anyhow i have been talking to someone else today on here about the exact same thing and maybe my mistakes might help...check out the post "79 scottsdale cab" by "FARMALL"...it will help u a bunch i think because if all you cut out was the trans hump that was bolted in then you have more to do (that was my BIG mistake) at least it was on a 78 cab.and as far as body mount's you have to buy mount's for the "frame year" ,not cab year unless you might be using a lift kit which i know "nothing" about..lol..i wasted 2 week's by my mess up on the transfer case hump and hope this help's a little...
