GM motor mount recall cables - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What are these things worth?......I bought 2 of the kits recently off ebay and I'm just curious to see if I got screwed or not. They are the complete kits with hardware, instructions and all in unopened boxes and are NOS.

Thats cables they used to strap the motors in if the mounts break right?

I have a couple of sets on hand. One turned out to be for a car and one is for a truck. I see them go for around $10-$20 on ebay. The NOS ones available for trucks always seems to be the "67-69 C10,20,30 283,307,327,350 with Air Conditioning (Except with AIR Pump) This would be a pretty uncommon application I think and you see quite alot of them around.

I have one that says "1967 through 1970 C10-20-30: 283-307-327-350 (Except with Air Conditioning and/or Air injection Reactor)Part # 334518. It is NOS and I would sell it if you need another one.

Consider them to be a novelty item. Chevy had a poorly designed motor mount, which would break and the engine would drop, opening the throttle. A recall was issued and the cables were installed to keep the engine from dropping to far. Motor mounts were redesigned, with the upgrades being incorporated into the replacement mounts.

I don't know if I'll ever use them or not....might take them to a local swap meet or something. I gave $15 including shipping total for 2 complete sets new in the boxes. They are 67-69 truck with A/C.
