I have a 48 1.5 ton. Going to put a 235 in. Why is there 2 different rear mounts? The bigger one says its for a 1.5 -2 ton, smaller for 1/2 ton I assume. But the engine weighs the same and all the holes in the mounts are the same.

Probably an after market thing, but thought I'd ask.

I would assume the bigger one, will withstand more torque, may be a bit stiffer so it doesn't flex as much while trying to get more weight moving.

I was going to put fresh motor mounts in my truck. Where did you purchase your mounts? Mine is a 2 ton.

My original rear motor mounts ('51 3100) look like the ones with more rubber. They're still in decent shape to be reused

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

A friend gave me the smaller set and I think he said they came from brothers. Jim Carter had the bigger set.
