The '63-'66 trucks use the exact same engine mounts for the 230/250 I6 and all small blocks. They are not the same as the '67-'72 trucks where different engine mount brackets are used for the 230/250 I6, a different bracket for the small blocks and yet again a different bracket for the big blocks.

Checking to see if the carburetor base is level when the truck is on level ground is a good call, assuming that strange things haven't been done to the suspension. Pics of all engine and trans mounts would be helpful. It being 50+ years old doesn't help. Who knows what was done to it? Post enough pics, and someone will say, "Aha!", and you'll have your answer. Where is the fan inside the shroud, top to bottom? Is it high in the shroud? I can't really tell. It makes me think that the 6 cyl mounts are being used, which can make a V-8 high up, IIRC.
