The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Mount rebonding service

Need to get an engine mount rebuilt as unable to find a decent used one & no old stock to be found for my '60 C10 / 235.
Anybody have a reference, prefer west coast.

East Coast but I believe Steele Rubber Products does some of this. Won't be cheap though, not from them......Parts houses no help?

Is this what you need?https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1960,c10+pickup,3.8l+235cid+l6,1489472,engine,motor+mount,5552

I'll have to look the number up again, have checked a couple years ago & couldn't find anything but used. The ones shown rock auto etc are side mounts for V8. This is a rectangular pad bolts to timing cover. Might be the same mount as used w/ horseshoe bracket on V8 in these years.

As mentioned, Steele Rubber Co. I had a pair of 1960 GMC V6 motor mounts revulcanized by them for $100. These were very basic rectangular rubber blocks onto a flat plate, so depending on what yours look like will determine cost. Many times there are other mounts, for something else, that can work. Is the mount just a bushing and washer stackup? If we see a pic of yours we can eliminate a bunch of false leads.

Several sites show the 3 hole mount for 235. I guess that is the side mount. Can you switch to side mount? Is 1960 different from 1961 and up 235 mounts? Have you checked 55-59? Anything here?
Most of the time an old part number does not do any good anymore. You have to dig the internet.

BC, The Filling Station lists your part as PN 70-1828 and in my old catalog has a price of $65.80 for "revulcanizing".

When I restored my '36 Chevy pickup in the early 1970s the side engine mounts needed "revulcanizing". In looking at them it looked like 1/8" steel plate was crimped around a captured rubber pad. I heated the metal to uncrimp it. That had the effect of incinerating the old rubber, but so what? I duplicated the size and shape of the original rubber part and crimped the metal parts back together cold in my vise and 40+ years later that home repair is holding up fine.

It's $106 plus ship now.

"It's $106 plus ship now."

It shouldn't be too tough to figure out a way around that and save a quick $106 + postage. This is an example of when having a little ingenuity pays off.

Had missed that on my Filling Station CD.
O.E. part # is 3769767, mount is the same for V8 in these years that use the horseshoe bracket to the front of the engine.
Rock auto, classic parts, etc all show the mount to the side of V8 as '63 up would use.
Thanks for all the input.

Mounts from scratch are easily made with neoprene snow plow stock, comes 4" wide by 1" thick by lengths, if one can use flat pieces. Not available in Florida, etc.

I actually did what you need. I used the "plates" from the original, found two "hockey puck" rubber pieces that had a center hole and the right thickness. You can also use a rectangular block. I don't think I could find one, can't remember. Anyway I put new bolts down thru the horseshoe mount, thru the plate, thru the rubber, thru the plate, thru the frame piece and used washers and nuts. (approximate method from memory). As long as the durometer is correct, it's a done deal. If you need to make new flat plates, make new flat plates.
