What are you swapping the motor into year/model/2wd/4wd? On my 75 F250 4wd I used the V8 towers, cut them down and welded a plate to it to bolt the mounts to. On one side I used a piece cut from the dodge donor truck, and on the other side I just used plate with two 1/2" holes drilled in it. The "new" towers got a little slotting of the holes, and got bolted into the second set of holes that ford drilled and sleeved in the frame for the 300 inline 6. fordcummins.com will sell you somthing similar, but I think that you have to do almost as much fabrication anyways. If you were going to take your truck to a shop and pay big labor $, buy the expensive conversion parts from fordcummins.com to save on labor, if you are going to do it, fab it yourself, it will be well worth the thousands you could save. Good luck, keep us posted.
