I bought my truck without a motor or the front motor mount. I've been looking off and on for about 6 months and the mount isn't reproduced, only the rubber insulator and oil shield.
Short question is, has anyone made one? Is there an alternative way mount the engine in front? I've only seen a few photos of the mount so I don't really know what it looks like assembled, but it seems like all I need to do is attach the front mounting plate to the frame cross member with some type of rubber cushion.
Am I on the right track here? Has anyone come up with a workaround for the front mount? This is for a 1950 Chevy 3100 with a six cylinder engine.
Thanks!

Just had a rear pair done for a 40 Pontiac 6. As along as you have the steel part they can mold the rubber part. If all else fails go to your FLAPS and look at the transmission mounts as many of them are rectangular with studs/bolts on both the bottom and top. Probably have to drill holes to fit in front engine plate. For much more stable engine mounts weld an arm off each side of the front plate and use flathead Ford mounts. Corvette did this and had the mount plate attached with the water pump bolts.

Thanks!

I really want to get back on track with this project.

When you get caught don't take it personal just tell yourself "I need to do better". Getting mad and leaving does nothing for you or the site. Hang around and enjoy yourself, it's a lot less stressful.

You could have used email and you could have used PM - them's the rules.
