Don,
I had a very busy day yesterday and didn't make it over to do the estimate
on the 62 Fleetside but I'm going there today around 1:00 p.m. I'll take my
mounts to verify the length as you said their might be a 1" difference in
length. My friend was out of town yesterday but is scheduled to return this
afternoon so I'll check with him today.
I had to change my plans a little since a person offered me a complete motor
and trans 235 complete for free and all I had to do way go and pick it up!
Great Day!!
Engine Mounts:
I think it referred you to the passenger shop manual because they used the
powerglide and therefore the same engine rubber mounts and the disassembly
will be the same. This way they didn't have to take up space in the book
for the truck section again.
