I have to specify that I need the frame side mounts. My 2F has the 'engine' mounts already on it, plus I have what could be the original F 'engine' mounts. I have frame mounts, but they may be the problem 40 mounts. The holes in the frame are welded, so I don't really know where they are supposed to mount. I may need to look at a 55 and take some pictures/measurements.

yep - I understood ya- I can measure the distances between the frame mounts fore and aft and - also could make a template if that would help for fabbing a set up.

Okay, cool. A fabbed set may be my only option.

After taking a mental inventory of what I have, I need a bunch of stuff! I don't have the bell housing mounts or the trans crossmember . . .

You need these...........................custom for a 55..............a burley 55.

There is no transmission crossmember-just a couple of frame tabs that the bellhousing mounts to. I have those and will hold them for you. After thinking about the PO's dilemna in finding motor mounts I am now sure he was not aware that the 2F motors are offset to one side.

You could use those as the frame rails for your tube buggy

Those are nice! Are those rocker replacements?
My 55 won't see anything close enough to justify those.

Yeah, you could be right! I took a picture of the mounts I have:

I believe 1 & 2 are the FJ40 F Frame mounts, 3 & 4 are bell housing mounts, 5 & 6 are the FJ40 F Block mounts, and 7 & 8 are the rubber bits. Sound right?

The 2F has the large bracket mounts on it already.

I appreciate the help Tim!

BTW: Here are some recent pictures after a wash . . .

Very nice and clean, love stock pure 55's till they rust then its the run of the swine.

Those are rocker cut out sliders.

Sweet - I think you have all the correct stuff for mounting the motor to the frame and the rear mounts I removed would complete it. You would just need to weld on a couple of side tabs or a square plate to remount them to the frame.

I also think I may have a FSM that has frame dimensions on it. if I do- I will scan it this weekend and get it to you.

Very nice Reid! Reminds me of my first Cruiser a 72' Pig, except mine had a ton of rust.

Awesome! That's good to hear. I really want to get this on the road ASAP.

I have an old FSM. It does show dimensions to the rear frame mounts, but not for the front!?

I didn't know you had a Pig! That's rad. This one has very little rust. I need to have a professional nip it in the bud before it becomes like 90% of the other 55's out there.

Yep, had one for about 3 years in the mid 1990's. I spent about a year and a half just doing the body work and paint. Was forced to sell it for some financial reason that I don't even remeber now.

Man I miss that truck. Funny thing, I was driving back from a surf trip in 2000 and saw it pass me in Ensenada with my shadetree paint job. Long live the Pig!!

 

[blupaddler]

Nice.
I knew that piggy would sure clean up with a good wash.

Haha! Awesome!

Yeah, it really did! It must have been kept under a cover or in a garage, because paint doesn't hold up like that in the direct desert sun. It's all shiny and smooooth . . . .
