There are two kinds. the flat sandwich, and the through hole one. Both are readily available.

You have to be creative with what you tell parts guys...

If you have the Old style snadwich trans mount, tell them you need a trans mount for a 1968 D200 with an automatic trans, don't care what engine, but you could say a 318, or a 383... doesn't matter.

For the newer mount,
Tell them you have a 1976 D300 (actually ANY pickup truck is the same)
the newer trans mounts come two ways:
1. The insert only (great if you want to "stave" the mount in yourself) and they're cheap ($9.00)
2. The entire bracket. (just don't tell them its a B-series Van, the bracket is 1" taller)

Front engine mounts are the same for the Early and late models, use the same Pickup truck references.

pictures... Do I have pictures of these?.... I used to have them here, but picture space has been a concern and either I  or an administrator has canned them... so I hope this works...
Old style
new style
