Are you asking about the rubber mount that fits between the frame bracket and the block? If yes, parts stores will have (or can order) them, but it has to be a good parts store, like NAPA. The mounts are the same 63-72, except for big block V-8s.

those will need regular old v8 SBC motor mounts ( I assume you are installing a V8) from 63-72. center bolt.

What your asking about is the motor mounts. There will be a bracket with vulcanized rubber on it that bolts to the motor block 3 bolts, then there is a one bolt going thru the motor stands(what you have pictured). You can get those new at a parts store. clyde beat me to it, but he posted a pic of what you'll need, if you bolting in a V8 small block.

those are frame stands. you still need the engine bracket that bolts to the engine,
and the rubber motor mount that bolts to thestands you have, after you mount those stands to the frame, then a long bolt goes through the rubber mount and the bracket bolted to the engine

If we are talking about 63-72 trucks, an engine bracket is needed only on the inline 6 engines. 73-up trucks use a different type of mount that requires an engine bracket on the V-8 too.
