Anyone know who carries the various ground cables for our trucks or is it easier just to make them

Make 'em. All the cable, terminals, etc are available at your local Napa

Remember to use STAR washer ends on your cables or install star washers behind the cable ends you build so the grounds you make, or repair, bite into the metal to make good ground connections like the originals.

OR, go cut some lo-o-ong good ground ends off of a few newer Fords in the wrecking yards and solder and splice them into your harness where the bad ones are. Grab a couple of engine ground cables while you're there too.

How many bad grounds could you have? All cars have multiple grounds on them and a lot of the Fords have many loop-end style grounds in the engine compartments, that I have seen.

Sorry so long getting back. Just replacing ground cables as i find them. Have found some with insulation cracked and some woven ones with ends broke off or cracked in half. These bumps have grounds all over the place.
