got my new motor mounts. quad high density poly isolators. quality is there. fit and finish looks good. I like them. even took the time to mill the back of the block mount. pics don't really show it but it 1/2" plate for the block mounts and the subplates are 1/4" good beef.

I have not seen these motor mounts. Who makes them and where do you get them?

Thanks. I wonder where you can find just the isolators for a stock replacement. They look better than the rubber mounts.

its coming along. I've just got to setup the stands to hold the body up now. so I can center it and make body mounts. the cab will come down about a foot and a half from where it sits right now.

Your wheels are 22". So are they original 22.5's that are cut down to 22? What size tires did you run?

yup they were 22.5" alcoas off a freightliner. the rubber I ran was 305/45r22 Nitto 420S. stock suspension no lift. no cranking the torsion bars either.

So where did you have them machined down to 22" and at what cost if you don't mind?
