Truck is pretty much a basket case. My dad bought it in 1988 , he died in 91and it sat in my moms backyard until 2007. Did the chassis and brakes in 07 and then sat again ( this time in a garage) until 2017. Really at a point where I can make some progress I hope. Did figure out the mount situation. The engine mount brackets were backwards on the flathead 6. Switched them side to side and it fits just fine. Thank you all for the insight.
