thats what i got from the dealer.....5.3l mounts....i think the 4.3l frames are different....the part that is on the frame where the two bolts pass through are wider than the 5.3 or 6.0l mounts....th passenger side is fine...
i put the stock 4.3l motor mount on and it looks like it will line up! the passenger side needs the 5.3l v8 mounts though!

here are some pics of the frame mounts! and engine mounts....the first one is the v8 frame side mount is this what you guys arwe runnnin
the second is it and the v8 engine side mount how they would be but the bolt holes on the frame side mount done lay flat and are too close...
the third one is the v6 mounts showing how the fram has two holes flat not angled up and spread wider.....the only thing is it doesnt line up when in place the motor is about two inches forward and cant go back any more....

they are not all the same !! trust me. 99-06 has many different frame mount sets! All the sets i have were pulled by me out of 1500 2wd trucks from various years. Even got a set out of a early 04 and they were not the same as his 04. Try the frame mounts from a 2wd 1500 2006 silverado with a 5.3. And yes it does matter if its 2wd or 4wd.
