What year of truck? If it is a 73-79 any motor mounts from one of these year trucks will swap over. You can find them at online auctions or LMC and L&L productions sells them new.

I used L&L in one of my swap's, try Jeff's Bronco Grave yard, should be around $125 for a set. You could try L&L direct also (out of Texas). I used performance unlimited mounts on the second swap I did, also around $125 a set. Try a web search for "Performance Unlimited". With these mounts you will have to have the engine out to be able to redrill the holes in the engine stands, they need to be 2" forward from OEM location. Full instructions are provided with new mounts. I have never had a motor mount failure with either brand, and these trucks are not light duty use vehicles with me behind the wheel. -Ed

PS- I am assuming that your truck is an F-150 4X4, if not this is NOT the correct info for a 2WD. If it's a 2WD just get stock mounts from LMC or local auto part's store.
