OH WTB - GMC V6 engine perches

[67km1590]

In desperate need of of a pair of engine stands or perches for my '67 GMC K1500 project, they have to be from a 4X4. These were missing when I bought the truck, now I'm ready to set the rebuilt original V6 and need them. Truck had been changed to a SBC at one time. Any leads would also be appreciated.

Did you ever find the engine stands/ mount plates you needed?
Hopefully you did.

I was cleaning out my shed today and I came across these engine mount plates from a 68 GMC 2500 with 305 V6 I had many years ago. That project is long gone, but I still have some leftover parts.
These are from a 2 wheel drive truck. I did a search to try to find the difference between 2 WD and 4x4 and couldn’t find much.
Perhaps you may know the differences?

No I haven't, the ones you show for the engine side I have. I hope to have the rolling chassis assembled next month and I may have to attempt to fab them. Engine, trans, transfer case, and both axles are finished, and frame blasted and painted soon. I really appreciate your help.

Sounds like this truck is going to be very nice, with all the work you have already put into it!
I will keep an eye out for any GMC V6 parts I may hear of or run across. If they relate to your project I will pass along any info.
Hopefully others will be able to do the same and you end up with the original parts you need.

Thanks for any help you can give me. This truck will be as original as I can make it. I've had good luck finding most 67 only parts on this forum it's been great help, these perches are the only odd parts I'm missing. I think most of these trucks were switched to SBC when the old V6 got tired as did this truck however at least the original engine wasn't scrapped.
