Where is the best place to buy replacement front motor mounts for a 1968 inline 250 motor? Mine are shot. Thanks!

Where have you looked so far?

GMC Pauls?
Rock Auto?
Local Auto Parts?

If none of the above, check them out.

I've checked Rock Auto and local parts stores. Seems like everyone has these. They don't look like the originals but it says they fit. I guess my concern is the holes lining up if they don't look like the originals.

I found that local parts stores offered parts with lifetime warranties and rockauto didn't, so I went local.

Call around and see.

Those are the correct mounts. Also they look the same as what's on the truck, I don't see why you think they won't work

Maybe they just look different to me because the rubber is separated. Thanks.

The OEM motor mounts could separate at the rubber block and tear apart. Replacing motor mounts with a later model upgrade prevents separation, as the steel hooks around and locks into the other side.
