Hi,

 

I am rebuilding a 196 van, the front subframe seems to be shaped to bolt direct on to the two holes in floor pan, I have brought new front rubber mounts but these do not line up to be used.

 

Any body know was this model a direct bolt on subframe ???.

1960 is full solid mount.

As above the front subframe bolts directly to the body shell on your age van.

 

Rubber mounts were not introduced for the front subframe until 1976.
