CUCV motor mounts

Uncle Sam used motor mounts desinged for a M1009 with
gas engine rather than the mounts used for a civy
"Blazer or Jimmy" with a 6.2 engine.
I purchased new rubber mounts from Napa and they
worked just fine. The GM mounts for a diesel would
not fit as described below.
The poly mounts do transfer a lot more vigration into
the cab area.
The adapter from the frame to the motor mount is alos
for the civy gas version.
If the M1028 mounts are the same NSN or p/n as the
ones for the M1009 then you will also need mounts
shown for a gas engine too.
Good luck.
Jim

PS: Anyone know why Uncle Sam would want a different
motor mount rather than the normal one that Civy
trucks would use? Perhaps it was a parts availability
issue from GM?
