Re: Engine Mount Questions

[QUOTE=Captainfab;6238873]...The other option is to use the motor mount brackets from a '73-'87 C20 or C30. Those will fit the early frames better than the C10 brackets. There again a small spacer on top of the frame may be needed. Then you just use the '73 and up motor mounts, and then any upper bracket (clamshell) will work.[QUOTE]

That's what I did. My spacers wound up being 1/4" thick. I tried to use everything I could off of my donor truck (1979 Suburban). I like the clamshell style mounts better than the earlier styles, and every parts store out there carries them.
