Transmission mounts
So I have my transmission (4 speed) out of my F3 because of a ring gear issue I mentioned in a previous post. I have been killing time cleaning everything up and I noticed that there is some evidence of a rubber mount where the transmission lands on the crossmember. I have been looking around but I have not been able to find anything on the usual sites (Macs, Lmc) is this part available?
I seem to find the speed parts everywhere but not many 4 speed. Not sure what to do if I decide to rebuild it.

That's an interesting item. I am at the same point and was wondering if there was a mount available but I never would have thought it looked quite like that or cost that much. I guess mine was long gone a long time ago, because it only had a trace amount of rubber around the bolts too.

Your only seeing the very top of the rubber, the rest is basically pressed in the cross member and held in by a plate. Here's the side view under the truck:
Here's the small portion sticking out
Keep an eye on eBay, one pops up every so often for 10-20 bucks.

If these are made of the same rubber as the F1 mounts, it's not much different than mounting to steel. The compounds are so stiff you can't press a fingernail into them. I have long wondered if any attempt to match OEM durometers is made, or if it's just some random compound. But you need something there.
