Thanks coopman. You're probably right. I'll look around at Rhinebeck next weekend but I'm thinking I could easily make one if the mount turns out to be that rare.

Thanks to all. One more request: Would someone look up the part number for the '53 truck front engine support V8Bob posted (#12) above? I want to check a couple of NOS sellers and they only stock by part number.
Thanks,
Howard
Ford brought out the center front/straddle-mounted-bell rear system in '53 for the new F-series (and later) trucks, so it's a one-year-only flathead part.
