the rear mount is actually the same as my 41 3/4 ton, the 38 has an enclosed driveline but about the same. The mount block has two "pipes" thru it to sort of help hold up the trans mount and using a top isolator will probably work OK, just do not go too thick as it will alter the driveshaft geometry. So you like repro motor mounts, seems like something so easy should be done right, HUH! Can you pull out one of the new bolts and compare it to an old one? Maybe get some one to turn down the shoulder on the new bolt so it will fit.
