The crank pulley on my truck has 5/16" clearance.

I'm not sure replacing the motor mount will solve your problem. I don't see any distortion in the mount, just cracking. Maybe, the bottom bolts have sheared off.

Anyway, no need for a manual, but you have to lift the engine up and remove the motor mount to get to the bottom two bolts on the motor mount, unless they have sheared off.

Since you have the front motor mount off, you might as well replace the front seal, since it is undoubtedly leaking. Then you will probably find that the crank pulley is scored.

That's the problem with resurrecting an old truck. One thing leads to another. That's why I suggested getting the truck running before you do all the other things. Otherwise you will have an engine that you have wasted a lot of time and money on, but doesn't run, or doesn't run well.

Vintage Power Wagon has the motor mount for about $30.00. I got a couple a few months ago.
