Difference in 2wd vs 4x4 engine Bracket?

[patrickk1]

Is there a difference between the engine to frame brackets in a 2wd vs a 4x4 305 v6 setup?

If you are referring to the brackets that are bolted to the engine itself those will be the same between 2wd and 4wd.

and here are the frame mounted brackets. 1960 4WD frame and brackets shown and 1963 2WD perches sitting on top for comparison.

Ron, there is a 63 GMC 4x4 crew cab rotating across in the album banner, has a blurry pic of mount. Don't know who it is. Mount looks the same???
Did you sell your 64 4x4 Panel???? If not, go outside and look

I currently have a 2wd 65 GMC with a 305 v6. I am trying to figure out the frame/crossmember differences between the 2wd v6, the v8 4x4, and the v6 4x4. There are some v8 4x4 frames local to me for sale but I want to keep the v6.

I'm getting confused. What year V8 frame? It's possible you are over thinking whatever you are thinking of doing. Which is what? Sometimes folks ask peripheral questions instead of the real questions. Do you want to study the differences and write it all up? Most of what you want to know so far has been answered, yes? no? You have a 65 and you see my 60 and the 63 is in the build banner. Here is what was in the banner.

Please put this in the form of a question. Otherwise it begs for just blogging. If you say what you want to do, We may be able to help you think it thru.

If those mounts inside the frame are where the rubber mounts, looks way too low to be for a v6. Pulley would either be sitting on the tube or the tube would be between the pulley and the block.

The GMC mounts are taller than Chevrolet v8 mounts, I know that much having pulled the v8 out of my '63.
