Help me find 73-87/91 engine mount stands
 
I'm looking for the bracket that attaches to the crossmember and frame rail. Motor mount attaches to the bracket I'm in need of...

I've searched and searched so far I found one online vendor that sells the LH side only.

I greatly appreciate any help. If you have a link or have a set of these brackets/stands or whatever they're called, text me a price or post up here although I'm not in here all that often.

Thank you!!

Are you looking for #1 + #2 or #4 on this page of the LMC bible?

Those are available from LMC, and likely your local auto parts store.

None of the above. The larger metal brackets that come w/ the swap mount kit in the link:

I don't want their swap kit, just the frame mounts/brackets.. Does that make sense?

If what you are after is the large flat-ish things that the motor mounts(lmc #1 or #2) bolt to, try your local pull a part or salvage yard. Not sure what the proper name is either. At least around here, those things are often still on the picked over remains when they are sent to the crusher.

I'm not sure I've ever seen those outside of swap kits and rusty 4x4 frames in the grave yard. Have you tried the junkyard route?

Tried all the local junk yards, nothing. Might have to just buy the whole kit!

I have heard those referred to as pedestals. The bracket that sits roughly at a 45 degree angle, from top of frame edge down to crossmember that the motor mount itself bolts to.

There are dozens of them at the wrecking yard I work at on occasion. (The occasional Saturday or weekend.)

#1 in GMs picture? 2WD, I assume... Looks like they call it an Engine Mount Bracket...

I know for a fact I have 2 sets of the 2wd ones and I believe one set of the 4wd ones and soon to have a second set. Pm me if you're interested.
