I need to replace my battery cable ends, but none of the auto shops seem to have heavy duty enough ones, ones that are big enough to hold all the wires that go to the ground side of these truck's batteries. Where do you all find yours? My local NAPA has some that have a stud on top that I could put terminals on the small black wires then bolt to the top, but I'm not sure I trust these. What do you all use?

Search locally for a welding supplier. They'll have lugs that you can solder on the end of the wires - or crimp (but you need a BIG crimper)!!!

If they are just fitting loose autozone and advance auto also have little caps that slid onto the batteries. They just make the posts bigger and allow the cables to tighten down. I had to use these and have never had any problems.

The problem isn't fitting on the post, it's securing all 3 black wires into the cable end. There is the big black cable, then 2 little wires that go into the cable end also. The problem is keeping all 3 of them secured so they don't work loose and lose contact.

Ok then those won't work for you. Have you thought about just removing the bolt and putting eyelets on the ends and putting between the nut head and cable end.
