| | THANKS!
For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 | I have two sets of what I thought were V8 motor mount towers for '60-up trucks. Well, when laid side-by-side, the towers are different.
Does anyone have the part numbers for the different engine stand towers? V8 from the different chassis versions, and 6 cylinder?

I have two sets of side motor mount towers, and one set is "shorter" than the other set. I'm trying to identify them so I can sell them/clear out space in the shop.
Anybody wanna help me post pics of them?
Also, I would have thought there'd be a part number stamped on these, but none is visible. Is it possible I'm missing the number, or were they not stamped?

| | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 | it depends on what they look like doesn't it. they changed style in 63 and from 63 on the r/side 292 was shorter than the rest the 235 frt mounted and the 60-62 V8 mount or tower was different than the later ones. perhaps we can quit playing guessing game and have the orig poster put up some pics so that we know what he is talking about the 63-towers also fit 230-250 I6 s ron He also states that he thinks that they are V8 towers, so he really doesn't know what they came from

If I could e-mail some snaps to someone who has an image hosting account, that's clear it up. -Brad SOUTHERN FALL GABfestOctober 6 ~ Commerce, Georgia Details here!Never Pee on an Electric Fence. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 788 | just get an image hosting site .most don't cost anything. you can email them to me and I will have a look at them , but won't post them ron check this site, it may help you identify, http://www.persh.org/pickup/perches.htm
