My 68 is an original 396 pickup, and YES, it came with that engine, and I still have it...I bought the original type (68-71) new mounts, years ago, even though it has not had the engine in it, for waay too long.
I found out about the 72 clam shell style mounts (that are like the 73-87 mounts (small and big block). My hop is to use the 72 clam shell mounts in my big block 68 AND I and putting a small block in my 67 C-10, plan on using clam shell (72) on it too. THe design looks better for the long run...to me.

I have a 73-up setup (frame brackets and clamshells, and engine brackets) that I may experimnt with on the 67...

Oh, Landarts! Thanks for your builds, here. There are great to follow, and helpful in all aspects of your repairs, especially the body work! I hope you are recovered from your health issues, so you can do MORE work, and post here!!! My interests are in 2WD stuff, but your 4WD and 2 WD stuff is ALL good!!!
