RH engine perch
Where's the best place to find a replacement engine perch for a '66 FE (352) f100. Does anyone sell aftermarket versions. From what I've read if I ever intend to add PS(Saginaw) or AC it might behoove me to look for perches from a '73 f100. Is that right?

No, your current perch will work with some modifications. It is not 100 percent necessary.
Or any 68 up ford power (Saginaw) truck equipped with a FE or I6 can donate the perch.
The later perch is slightly offset to clear the box. Some cutting of the stock perch will provide enough clearance.

Have only had the truck about three weeks so it was the previous owner or before him. Something must have happened on that side because the RH lower shock mount was rattling and cracked. This all explains the sound I was hearing when I went over a speed hump that sounded lluke marbles rolling around a tin can.

Flange is broken on one of the lower mount points. And upon closer discovery all of the bolts were loose. Yikes!
