Tri5,
My '59 came to me already with the 350 in place with homemade side mounts that sprout from a plate welded across the upper and lower rail flanges, thankfully(?) it also has front mounts. The front ones look to me to be the usual stem and donuts type set up but they mount directly to holes in the original crossmember, no brackets on the bottom end. This puts the crank pulley uncomfortably close to the crossmember, but it doesn't rub...I know that this truck was not orig. a V-8 truck but the way the front mounts go into the crossmember looks like it was a stock set-up?? I'm hoping that new donuts will raise up the front end enough so I can change the v-belts someday!!Let me know if you want pics.
Jeff
