The motor mount (steel box with rubber inside) is mounted below the cross member and the motor was sitting directly on the cross member. Is this correct? The mount beneath appears to be in the right location, just not sure if there should be something between the motor and the cross member. I looked in the shop manual and it basically says nothing and asked this on the FB page and got two different answers. Thanks in advance for any info.

Augie,
I think a motor mount in good condition will hold the engine off the crossmember. I put a new one on my '36 1-1/2 ton several years ago but I forget the specifics of how it is configured.

Perhaps Chipper or Chevnut will weigh in as I have already done so on your facebook post.

The front motor mount is a metal box that is securely bolted to bottom of the front cross member. There is a rubber insert with metal inserts that are retained on the two studs extending from the front motor mount. If all is in good condition the front of the engine is supported above the cross member. If the rubber insert is deteriorated or the metal inserts loose or sagged then the engine might not be properly supported.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
