    It is the same as the car so just look in the search for 35 thru 40 frame builds then figure what you want.

    I know I'm late to the party, but it might still help...
    I just boxed the frame for my 36 truck and put this engine mount in:

    Seems strong enough to me. I am running a 425 Olds in it...

    The reason I built it that way was that I've seen "dodgerodder"s frame. he's running a 455 in his RPU.
