If it's an early 3 speed manual with the top mount, Energy Suspension part # 9-9484G fits right in after you remove all of the old mount bushing from the trans... At least it did on mine.

DaGroats, the truck is a '63 with a 144 cid 3 spd. And yes, it has a top mount. Thanks alot for your help man. I will check out this part from Energy Suspension............John

I got mine on Amazon. I think it's actually a lower control arm bushing for a Chevy. But, like I said it fits perfect on my truck

DaGroats, I received the bushing today. I took out the old one and will attempt to replace it with the new one. A quick question, there is a sleeve in the tail piece where the new bushing goes in. That stays in, correct? I think if it is taken out, the new bushing will be too small and will be sloppy. Please advise, and thanks for the help........John

Replaced the the tail piece bushing with Energy Suspension part # 9-9484. Left the original steel sleeve in and took alittle off of the new bushing to make it fit tight. The original bolt was not the correct size, so I replaced it with a 9/16 3 1/2" hex bolt. Nice tight fit. Thanks guys............John
