I did this exact replacement on my 86 4x4 sub. Piece of cake on the 4x4, remove the starter and tranny bottom cover and unbolt.

I also used the one piece gasket from felpro. I had to buy a new pan also and the damn gasket cost more than the pan. BUT, I will never use anything but a one piece gasket ever again. Fit great with no leaks!

By the way my rusted pan was leaking a quart a week. Now thats what you call an auto oil change.
