I have done this before--not on a Ford but an IH and it was easy. Just find a junk parts tractor.
You will find a front-end crossmember that is riveted to the frame and the parts bolt to that. That's the way my IH was.
Support the tractor firmly and hack, chisel or grind away at those rivets. Bolt the new parts on with grade 8 bolts. Not that hard.
I will add that you will likely be working upside down busting and grinding rivets and if you are not careful will get metal dust or fragments in your eyes. Wear goggles. I didn't and an MD can get them out with a magnet. Choose the goggles.
