i currently have a 1957 f100, the engine is sitting in the bed of the truck.....i need to put it in but i was told that there is a front mount that is almost like a cradle on the front of the engine, i saw this on a 1959 the guy had, but he had a v8, it looked like it connected to the bottom of the engine then went forward and connected to the frame i think. please tell me everything needed to mount my engine so i know.
my truck im dealing with right now



Im going to put it all back to original, except im putting a stepside bed on it.

You can see all this kind of stuff in the manuals!

 

I have had a hard time finding this part, any idea where to get the front mount.

 

Are you referring to the steel legs or the rubber mounts?

 

The steel legs, the rubber ones ive found evrywhere

 

Don't have any around that I recall, definately a good junkyard item. You could ask THartman, the fella that offered you all the other parts in your other thread.

 

Thanks for your help
