There are a variety of front mounts out there depending on the application. Here's a link to a video that does a good job of explaining the differences.
front mount stylesAs the others have stated, if the engine you are using came out of a car, you'll need a truck front cover, truck bellhousing and truck oil pan. Ram's horn exhaust manifolds are a good choice in this situation to eliminate the crossover exhaust pipe.

I have a 56 f100 with a 292. The front engine mounts look to be much the same as the 1960..
I found there were about 3 variations that look much the same. When I decided to fit a harmonic dampener it dragged on the original engine mount.
The earlier engines had no dampener.
So i had to hunt for another.. Got one from a gent in Canada.
Hope this is of some help

I used to have a US 1960 F100 with a 292 and a Fordomatic and it had 3.70 gears, for whatever that's worth...I would think lower gears would be more dependent on whether it was a 6 or 8 cylinder, also.

Also, if the truck had a manual transmission and he is switching to an automatic, the rear axle gear ratio may not be the best for the automatic transmission and may need to be switched.

A couple of general items. The front cover for a truck is different from the car and somewhat different from a Tbird but the Tbird may work (no experience). The engine in a truck has a front mount off the front cover. The rear mount is on the bellhousing for a truck (ears off the bellhousing... If your mate is using parts out of a car , the car had side engine mounts and a mount on the trans. That is the limit of my knowledge regarding the engine mounting in a truck.
