Looks like all they sell if the upper and lower rubber pads.

Try All Ford Parts in Campbell, Ca. Ph# 1-800-532-1932. They have a lot of NOS parts.

No mount parts except for the rubber like the others. But Thanks, good source of parts...

I measured my bolts. See below. I imagine a 3-1/2"-long 1/2"-dia. bolt with a piece of 1/2" ID, 5/8" OD tubing slipped over it would work if you don't have a lathe.

Even though it has been more than a year and a half since the last post I still find that I need to resurrect this thread. Has anyone found a reliable source for the bolt for the '52 Truck engine mounts (Ford part number 2C-6047-A)? There are a number of vendors that carry the rubber pads (8L-6038-B and 8L-6039-B) but they all only carry the smaller bolt for the earlier engine mounts. Also, the only diagram of the '52 mount that I can find (Ford Truck Chassis Parts 1948-1954 and Ford F-Series Trucks Shop Manual) doesn't show any washers other than the one under the castle nut. Are there any others. Has anyone tried the idea that Ross F1 proposed in using a short section of tubing as a sleeve on a 1/2" diameter bolt? Should work if I can't find one of those 2C-6047-A bolts. Thanks for any and all advice.

I use aircraft bolts to control overall length and thread length purchased through Aircraft Spruce. The AN8 will work for 1/2" diameter and the length dash numbers are in 1/8" intervals. The tubing for the step is out there. it just has to be cut to mach the step on the OEM shoulder bolt. This workks well and is starting with new metal. So many of the original parts are badly rusted and OEM parts are getting harder to source every year. I fear a person would have to have a lathe and a mill to fabricate ones like the original and even then they should be plated to slow the corrosion.

The lower rubber piece has a large diameter washer molded into it. The bolts come up from below, into the water pump foot. I used a washer under the castle nuts.

Since we are on the subject of 52 F1 flathead v8 engine mounts.

In my 52 F1 pickup, my front cross member has been butchered to fit in a different radiator, to go along with the 351 Cleveland in my pickup. I want to return my pickup to standard. I have an 8BA/8RT to go back in my pickup, and have the correct 1952 F1 pickup motor mount brackets etc to suit.

I also want to replace my front cross member. Are all 48 - 52 F1 front cross members the same?? and thus compatible with the 52 engine mount brackets?? Thanks

Yes, they are the same front cross member for 1948 through 52 F1, 2, & 3 plus the parcel delivery.
