I'm not home so I can't, but I don't understand what's being misunderstood? the frame stands for the motor the frame side motor mount, is rivited to the frame. once the bolts are cut out and you install the new stand, how do you install the bolts and tighten them, the frame look's closed there to where you can't access the inside of the frame to install the bolts to hold the new stand down?

Converted my 89 chassis from 351 to 460, have a variety of extensions for your ratchet and different length wrenches. It's tight but all the bolts are accessible. The gen 6 chassis is a bit more open than this one is, try putting a 78 cab and box on a 89 frame and you'll soon find out that changing the towers aren't as hard as it seems, just a lot of tight spots.
Are you working on a 2wd or 4wd

I'm working on a 2wd truck. I haven't had a chance to get out there and look at anything due to the holidays.

For short bolts there is absolutely an access hole from the outside of the frame. I know however that on my 4wd F250 some of the engine mount bolts go the whole way through the frame and also bolt on the shock towers at the same time.
There should be nothing tricky about accessing engine mount bolts.
