Need parts help

I'm looking for a FE left engine perch from a PS truck for my '66 swb. Here in North Dakota most of these trucks have been sent to scrap in junk yards. If anyone has any ideas where to find one please let me know.

Do you think it would look like number 6028 in this shot? The lowest one in the bottom right...

I guess you'd better read this. It depends on which power steering you have.

My gear box came out of a '76 F100 but it had a 302 in it. I am not sure what it looks like as far as the perch.

I haven't worked with a 302 upgrade, but it uses a different perch than the FE & I-6. The 302 was not installed in a truck until 68(?). I say that you need the set of 302 perches from your 76 donor.

Have you driven the truck with the 302 installed?
