1967 Motor Mounts Available ???
 

I am restoring a 1967 GMC 4x4 The motor mounts are different than other mounts I have seen on these trucks. Anybody know if these are still available. Thought I'd ask here befor heading to talk to the local auto parts shop.

Hmmm,I`m curious what motor it came with.Hopefully someone can be of help.

Looks like you might have a 305 V-6. Nope, those mounts are no longer available. You can send them to Steele Products and have them remanufactured.

This truck was a v-8 truck. The motor mounts where broke, but half of each were bolted to the engine cross member with two bolts. I have never seen these type before. Anyone know for sure? If I need to I'll start now asking for a 4x4 cross member from a later truck. Anyone have 1

That's really strange. GMC didn't make any V-8 powered pickups in '67, except for Canada. The V-6 mount has 2 studs on the bottom, and a flat plate with holes on either side on top. Does the VIN of this truck start with the letters 'KM'?

You are probably correct on the v-6, I did not know for sure. The truck came without engine and trans, and no glove box sticker. Likely I will have to find a engine crossmember from a 68-72 4x4 if I can not modify the one I have for the v-8 motor mounts. Anyone have one layin around they can send my way?

I think you are on the right track. Set it up to use the common Chevy motor mounts if you are going with a Chevy V-8. The truck probably had the V-6 in it, and someone just sat the Chevy on the GMC mounts and drilled new holes.

Go with the newer style mounts for sure, unless your trying to stay close to 67 originality as possible.

Not to stir up the water too much here because I don't know V 6 or Early GMC but there were a lot of those motors used in forklifts. I bet I could go to a dozen junkyards and find 3 V6 forklifts in action or dead. Around this area at least. Check with a forklift part place/distributor.

Just a thought - Bob

My intensions are to put a small block 400 into this truck. The motor cross member had two small holes for the mounts to bolt to. What I'm going to try is to hole saw a large hole into the cross member the size of the later model cross members and hope thats all I'll need. If not I'll be on the parts board looking for a later cross member to purchase. Thanks fellas for the help! I love this site.
