To the best of my knowledge, the only source for the earlier 68-71 BBC type would be your 67-72 truck specific catalogs or the 67-72 specific parts suppliers as I had listed above in post #4.



Up until recently, the 68-71 BBC left & right towers/frame stands were both available at GM. Now they only have the RH side #954 available at $107. list for just the one side. After years of collecting, I have three sets of the #953/#954 GM NO$ 68-71 BBC towers and five of the GM NO$ 68-71 BBC #697 mount/bushing/spacer/bolt kits ratholed.



Good info there Eric, I just seen your above linked BBC motor mount Id/picture thread and noticed you left out or never mentioned the early P-series towers that look alot like the 72 C10/20/30 BBC tower & clamshell setup. You should add them in there as I know of a few people on this site that got burned on them thinking that they were the real deal 72 BBC C-series setup. Mel
Mel, can you post up pics and explain the differences in those? I am unsure about the P series. I hope i haven't been burned by any...
