Prolly, the trans mount for a 68, FE, C6 would work.I think think the mounts were specific to trans type and year of crossmember.

Blue, You should be able to use the mount that came in the truck. I still have the one that came in mine with a 3spd. now running a C6. I did have to slide it backwards, and drill new bolt holes.

I'm thinking that both Instif and John are right. The mount should work as long as it bolts up to that cross-member and transmission. You should be okay ordering one for your truck like would be found on an FE and an auto for that year. If it isn't a perfect fit you can change things up a bit like John suggested.
