Will do. The motor mounts and transmission mounts should be unchanged on the 1994 Dodge chassis, if everything fits like I am expecting. The cab mounts will be a different story. I am planning to reused to factory Dodge mounting donuts to better isolate the cab from vibration and road noise. I will have to make and install my own body mounts though, since the Chevy frame rails are relatively flat and the Dodge frame drops in the middle, under the cab. At this point I am debating cutting off the factory Doge mount from the frame and relocating them to use with the Chevy cab. If not, I can always make my own and weld them in place.
