Where can I find 73-87 mounts and clamshells?
As title states, anyone know where i can find 73-87 mounts and clamshells for an LS swap I'm doing in my 69 C10? I'll be running the corresponding DD sliders with these mounts.
I have a 69 C10 I'm going to do a 5.3/4l60 swap in and I'm starting to put together a parts list and order stuff. I haven't been able to source this particular part on the forum. |

Bumpity
Still on the lookout.....primarily for someone that sells just the actual frame mount/perches For others looking that don't need/want adjustable sliding LS mounts, this kit does certainly fit the bill as mentioned above. http://www.earlyclassic.com/home.aspx |

Re: Where can I find 73-87 mounts and clamshells?
I had to go to a junk yard for mine. Paid around $50 I think.
I was told by Captain fab if your using them on a 67-72 c10 that the 73-88 c20 mounts work better as they are taller. I havent had the change to drill and mount mine yet but they sit nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-87-Chev...VXJf~f&vxp=mtr |

Why would you want them taller?

Re: Where can I find 73-87 mounts and clamshells?
I have in my mind that if I buy the 73-87 perches and the Dirty Dingo sliding mounts that I will be able to use my stock driveshaft as was done on http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=517347
Maybe that is wishful thinking? Not sure. MAybe I should just buy the ECE kit as well |

Re: Where can I find 73-87 mounts and clamshells?
Sorry for the delayed response. Taller because they fit our 67-72 frames better.
PM from Captain Fab, who is super knowledgeable. Originally Posted by Captainfab Hello If you want to use the better '73+ engine mounts, you will want the frame brackets from a '73-'86 C20,30 or a '87-'91 R2500/3500. Those brackets fit the '72 and earlier frames best. The C10 brackets are too tall and require a spacer on top of the frame. The brackets from a 4wd are totally different and will not work. Thanks John |
