For the stays, I'd use plain jaws, no toggles.

For each block, I'd get a bow shackle whose pin fits the holes nicely and whose jaw clearance is close to the crane's thickness. The blocks pulling just a little side to side on a bow shackle will not create a problem. No need for swivels or toggles here that I can see.

G'luck

Ian
