Could you modify these to make what you need?

Check Tractor Supply, Bigger Ace hardware stores. I built a stake bed box many years ago and found the hardware at those stores. Also every year when I go to the LARS and am driving around mostly Pomona I see all these stake bed trucks with similar black powder coated hardware?

The Model AA truck parts didn't change through the Early Ford V8 era. To help in looking for parts, the part numbers for the hinges are AA-186304-B and AA-186405-B. You need a total of 8 of each type.
Northern Classis Trucks, now out of business, used to make these parts. I don't know of any current supplier of the hinge brackets.
I can make an accurate drawing from a couple of original hinge brackets and send to you if that will help.
Attached is a picture of the two types needed.
