Ironic since I had purchased the same mount for my 4wd 292 then a year later end up with this frame.

Sorry if I’m high jacking this thread, as I don’t want to interfere with Backpayne finding his parts.

I thought GMC’s only came with a V6 and weren’t even offered with a 292. Is that a Canadian thing? Or did the V6 use the 292 mount also? I’m still trying to learn as much as I can about these old trucks, especially the 4x4’s

Canadian built GMC's used Chevrolet drivetrains. The population of Canada is so much smaller than the U.S. the single manufacturing plant in Oshawa Ontario found it made more sense to just label a Chevrolet motor with a GMC decal . You could still get the V6 option but the truck would be imported from the U.S.
