You got any pictures of your problem?

A picture is worth 1,000 words...... Show us what you are talking about..... Lots of guys are ready to help.

 

i would have to send you a pic via text that would be easiesr for me i would have to get my daughter to show me how to get it on here

 

Its not real hard to get a pic on this thread. That would be the place where everyone would see it.
Maybe your daughter could show you how to do that.

joejoe 55,
I don't have any advice to offer about sourcing lower style mounting motor mounts, but want to comment about your picture. Have to confess that you made my morning, made me laugh when I saw your picture, appears taken on the kitchen table, that's an original and speaks volumes about your character. I'm also challenged getting pictures, I have to wait until my youngest son visits (I'm still using an old flip phone), he takes pictures with his smart phone then sends them to me on an E-mail.
I haven't welcomed you to our forum and would like to. There's allot of smart and experienced members here that are willing to help one another, some come across as young and some older and in my opinion seem to share traits of either a red neck, cowboy and hillbillies. Some are engineers, pilots and we even had a lawyer corresponding awhile back that wrote in one of his post that he had "more money, than sense". At any rate welcome to the forum.

 

Joe55 appears to have a 77 F150......which engine?

 

I had the same issue with mine. 78 F150, 4wd, 300. Let us know more specifics.

 

What year, model, drive train, engine?

 

glad i could put a smile on your face brpther

 

Please, when asking questions, list ALL the pertinent info, we are not mind readers.

Year, series, engine size, trans type, 2WD or 4WD

 

300 1977 straight 6

 

1977 ford f150 4wheel drive 4 onthe floor 300 6 cykinder

 

On my 78 with the same set up, I had to go to mounts for an E150 van. When I get a chance I'll look up the part numbers. I got them from NAPA.
