Well I can't find my sales slip right now, but I'll keep looking. I do know that the Anchor 2442 and 2441's or the B2635 and B2636 from O'reilly's did not fit mine.
I got the tip about the van mounts from a thread on here somewhere.

Has anyone had experience with engine mounts from LMC for a 1977, F100 2WD 300ci in regards to proper fit? Mounts ordered from NAPPA and Carquest for a 1977 F100 were incorrect - much larger. Another blog indicated to use a 1974 Econoline 100 - I don’t think that’s the correct fit either. Help

Welcome to FTE 601. Interesting to hear of another mount issue. Sounds like it has been/still is a problem.
Do you happen to have any pics of the offending (new) mounts that don't work?
I even had trouble with my 400 engine's mounts in my '79 4wd. But after two sets, both of which were the same and looked the same as the originals, I figured my frame had "sprung" inward just a fraction of an inch, keeping my mount studs from sliding all the way down into the "V" and notched holes.
In your case though, do they look nothing like what was on the truck originally? If so, what month was your truck built in? I did not see mention of any changes between '76 and '77, or between '77 and '78, but I wonder if there was some running change at that point and your truck needs the previous year's, or later year's mounts/
Good luck. Hope someone has your answer.

Great writeup! Wow, you really had to go through it to get what you needed, didn't you. What a pain.
Big difference in some of those. I wonder what they actually do fit?
Thanks for the pics and details.
