1930-Pickup, Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to check for this with the car together? On a bare frame I would imagine you can run a straight edge along the top of it to see if it has sagged.
Sunnybrook Farm, I did look to see if the cross member had been welded and didn't see any signs of a repair. Thanks for your reply.
Chris Hayes, Is there a way to tell if the mount is reversed by looking at it from the side? I don't want to take the radiator off if it isn't necessary. Thank you for your reply.
Chuck Sea/Tac, Any idea what the installed height should be of the motor mount springs? I have family in Gig Harbor and I used to stay in Bremerton when I went out there for work in the area. Nice part of the country!
Again, thanks for all of the responses, including from Marshall!
