| The 360 often got 390-4V pistons. |

You should have good luck with using 360 full-slipper skirt style pistons with 390 rods and crank.
Just as te 390 truck engine got 410 car pistons, the 360 truck got 390 car pistons several years.
There is a catch, however, if you've got the semi-slipper skirt type of 360 piston (SAE makes these skirt terms up, not me), as the larger skirt is unable to clear the crankshaft throws.
Bottom line, if the piston skirt forms tab tips, it'll work, but if the skirt pretty much circles the entire piston without any distinctive tab protrusions (i.e.: piston looks sorta like a soup can), it won't work.
