Drywall – How to anchor through .5 inch drywall/.75 inch wood/concrete block

drywall-anchorwalls

Installing a TV wall mount. The issue is that the wall is 1/2" dry over 1×2 wood spaced 24 inch on center and then concrete block. What is the best fastener to to use considering the first 1 1/4" would not hold a TV mount for a 70 lb TV. Would like to secure into the concrete block.
Most of the sleeve anchors I have seen online looked like they would rely more on the wood than concrete since they are only 2.25 inches long..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would drill a slightly oversized hole through the drywall and wood, then drill full depth in the concrete for the sleeve anchors. Set the anchors flush with the surface of the concrete.

I would then use over-length bolts into the anchors, at least 3". For extra stability, I might put a metal spacer in the oversized hole in the wood and drywall, and have the bolt pass through it.
