Engine mounts?

Hi All,
Getting ready to remove 240/six cylinder engine from chassis of 1968 F350 2WD. First thing noticed was a slight offset to left hand side, about an inch (to clear steering /exhaust??) but also found what to my eye are an unusual style of actual mounting pad. Appears to be a three part, the plate that bolts to the block with three bolts, the rubber block, and a steel sleeve, all held together with a special bolt which has PART right hand thread and PART left hand thread. The engine was recoed in 1992 (or so I have been told) and it looks like it may have had replacement (moulded "Made in Korea" into the rubber) engine mounts fitted.
Did Ford persevere with this style or type of mount right up until the end of the six cylinder 240/300's? Also, was this type of mount common to the F100-F150-F250-F350?

If anyone has any pictures of the different engine mounts, (and only need the two front side mounts). I realise there are a left as well as a right hand, bolt holes may be similar but different angle and pattern side to side. Someone or other told me there was also a model in that period (240/300) that used a single transverse type mount under the front near the harmonic balancer and two side mounted mounts at the bellhousing. Definitely NOT that one. Perhaps a kind reader may be able to direct me to a posting somewhere either on this site, or any other site that could show the differences in the mountings. As I said, only the F trucks noted above and for the years say 62 to the end of the big six are really pertinent.

Thanks for any help, Dave 64
