I don't have a pic handy of the ole 350 but I spent a good 12 years working on it and yer post triggered a memory that , yeah there was a goofy bolt there...I wonder if my "keep ALl bolts" box has one....
Is this it? Maybe

So Nut on each end and the "head" is in the center..well part of the bolt...
Thanks that helps. I figured it was probably supposed to be a bolt/stud combo.

Yup, my pics as old as you need are on a different hard drive... my hopes it to one day get 30yrs worth of pics in one spot...
If you need me to put a caliper on that bolt let me know... heck i'll mail it to you if'n you need it!

Pump bracket doesn't fit between the stud and crossmember when I bolt it in first, and I can't get the open end of the wrench to fit between the motor mount rubber and the bolt head to get it tight if I put the stud end in the pump First then put it up there.
I am not exactly positive what you have stacked on the bolt in that picture, so I went and took a picture of what I believe you are asking about. This is on my '72 C10, but I have found the same thing on several other trucks of the same era. One bolt is longer to go through the bracket and the mount.
Yes, mine is just a longer bolt, but I don't have a cast bracket stacked up with the steel brace. I don't remember seeing that, but maybe my memory is worse than I know!
I need to look at my Dad's old '72.
No dice, same thing only with DIY4X mounts and crossmember.
It's been quite a while since I have looked at a '70 or older setup, so I wonder if there is something that I have forgotten about.

Well shoot. One more thing to delay me and after these crazy fires in oregon I want this thing running so if I need to i can get it out.
At least I'm no longer in a threatened zone but that was scary for a minute b

I wonder if a bean counter made the mfg of that replacement mount use ⅛" steel instead of ¼"
I honestly have no idea. I got it basically just body and wheels. Everything else was either taken apart or cut off and thrown in bags and boxes some labeled others not. So ive had to try to put it back together with limited knowledge on a 1st gen jimmy.
To satisfy my curiosity, would you please take a picture of the whole pump and bracket? I am wondering what it looks like, and what's different from mine.
Looks like your solution will work to me!

I don't honestly remember seeing one like that before. I must have a bad memory...
