1. Where can I find replacement rubber for front motor mount on 270 gmc? 2. Where can I find "Avocado" green for my GMC 302 that is replacing the 270? It came from a military truck so I thought I would paint it green to stand out a tad. Thanks
Steele Rubber can revulcanize them. Not cheap. Not sure what color you are referring to...do you mean "olive drab" military green?
Not positive but the 60-61 Chevrolet V8 pickup and earlier GMC pickup with the Pontiac engine had a front mount very similar. Find a photo of one see how close it is. I took a lot of those saddle mount GMC 6's off when I was stripping 270's for there cranks.
Don't think there's od green high temp engine paint; avocado is supposed to be similar Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Try Jim Carter in Mo. Haven't checked there lately, but always had great service from them. I've painted a few with Rustoleum Forest green, darker than avocado, about the same color as '50s Olds engines.
Hey do you need the single stud style motor mount? I have one, not new but looks in ok condition. You can have it for price of shipping. Won't be able to ship immediately as I'm traveling for work though. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I have the actual rubber lad with single stud if that's what you're talking about. I saw some if the "U" shaped metal motor mount brackets for the newer Jimmies on eBay the other day. I'll see if I can dig up a link. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

So Steele rubber will make new ones but they're very pricey Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
