Frame Side Engine Mounts

[aggie91]

I have seen few different questions about this topic. Here are some pictures of the FACTORY style mounts.

The dirty black ones are factory small block mounts in a 1965 C-10. These came out of a 66 C-10, and are shown mounted in the correct holes for the factory 283/327 from those years.

The blue ones shown sitting next to them are the factory 6 cyl frame mounts for the 230/250 from 64-66. Those mount in the rear holes on the upper frame rail. Notice on the cross member the hole that is painted black around it. That is the lower hole for the 6 cyl mount. These are lower on the crossmember than the forward hole for the V8 mounts.



I hope this helps someone when looking at the Factory style mounts. Note that the Factory BIG BLOCK frame mounts were only on the 68-72 model trucks. They will work on the 63-66 trucks. I am not sure which set of holes is correct for the BBC mounts. I just know from these that I have are the factory locations. My truck was an original 6 cyl that I got from my grandfather. The small block mounts came out of an original V8 truck from a wrecking yard in Stonewall, TX.
