They stack like this

Cruiser outfitters has these as well, and they can help with tech questions.

Interesting, I just noticed your driver’s side frame mount piece is aligned to the frame differently than mine, which is a ‘63. Didn’t think there was any difference in the rear engine frame mounts over the years.

Lol, I think mine might have been rewelded back on rotated by a PO. Just noticed this after 5 yrs .

thx, any reason a builder would take them during a 2F mosely swap?

My guess is they were going to replace them with new, and just forgot. Buy some new & s/b an easy install. May need to jack up the motor a bit…but no big deal.

Question….did you drive it like that? What was holding up the transmission/transfer case?

Question….did you drive it like that? What was holding up the transmission/transfer case?

for 3 years. my mechanic (old) installed the mosely 2f mated with the hz55 5spd trans.

 

[pb4ugo]

Maybe the nut loosened and the pucks fell out. Look inside the frame rail for the bolt.

 

[middlecalf]

What's holding the rear end up? T/C on the torque tube? Or is it jacked up in your pics and it was resting on the mounts, metal to metal?

 

[TuckerHudson]

Got a new kit and hardware from SOR for my mechanic to be safe.

It has a 5spd swap, truck likely has a different trans mount so either under the trans like oem or off the back of the tcase or something along those lines since there is a gap between bellhousing mount and frame mount, otherwise it would be resting against the frame.

 

[middlecalf]

^ ah, missed that 5-spd, that explains the gap. So the OP @TuckerHudson doesn’t need or should even use the rear mounts?

Doesn’t seem like it based on the driveline hanging above frame and not resting on it so it would be nice just to see how the trans is hung.

 

[TuckerHudson]

Thanks for feedback. Ordered but now I’m not sure it will fit truck with h55f?

You have to show us your configuration for trans mounting, we can’t guess and tell you. Factory would be pucks in the aforementioned location which is no longer applicable.
