Those are easy to "re-rubber" if you have an oxy-acetylene torch, a piece of sheet rubber of the correct thickness and a robust bench vise. If you're interested I can tell you how I did mine about 45 years ago and they are still fine.
Out of curiosity I looked at the Steel Robber item:
Motor mount service p/n: 60-0506-11
"Motor Mount, rear support. Revulcanization service only. Send in old steel cores, two (2) pieces each support.Length: 3.375 inches. Width: 2.5 inches."
The cost is $189.50.
It's interesting to compare that to the cost of doing it at home that would be a piece of sheet rubber and whatever oxygen and acetylene are used.
I bought a set of these from I&I reproductions a few years back. They still have them listed in a 2019 catalog. 1932 side motor mounts and also 1936 truck engine mounts, same part #MM01. I got a set for my 36 1/2 ton and they fit perfect. Price is listed at $75 a pair which I thought was reasonable. Dennis

Did you finish that 3.55 rear gear conversion?

Hi ray, working on it now. Getting ready to set the pinion to ring clearance and was just about to reference your article. I posted some pictures over on the truck’s restoration thread on the AACA site. It’s all powder coated and will be real nice once it’s together. Used a nice big blacksmiths file to round the tube for the perches. It made easy work of it. Wanted to ask you, were there tool trays under the seat frame to close off the hole under the seat to the ground? Seem like there should be something there as it’s a waste of wide open space. Also, have the torches and a very stout vice so email me the directions for removing and replacing the rubber please. Thanks, Ted

Good morning Ted.
Mine is a '36 "high cab" that is VERY similar to the '34 you're working on. I got mine in 1965 and according to the title it was sold in 1935, It was complete and all original when I got it. I was the first to "molest" it, making a rat rod out of it before restoring it back to original. The wood floor has a large gap under the seat. That gap is filled with sheet metal insert. Without that insert, puddles and mud holes would shoot water and mud up against the base of the seat.
I'll email you how I replaced the rubber in the motor mounts. It's a quick and simple job that saves at least $75 + tax and shipping according to lowcab36 and as much as $189.50 + tax and shipping according to the Steel Rubber ad.
I had Steele Rubber redo my 1933 Master motor mounts last fall and they did a beautiful job, and I don't use the word beautiful very often unless i am talking about my wife.
