TX Wanted to Buy - 1959 Chevy 261 - oil pan - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**TX3100Guy** · 09-28-2025, 11:50 PM

The oil pan on my 1959 261 straight six engine has developed annoying leak at the drain plug. The internal steel block that allows the drain plug to thread in has creased the metal skin resulting in a constant drip.

I'd like to find a decent pan that has not been bent at the drain plug to a sharp angle and instead has the intended rounded radius. Surface rust is fine, I can media blast and clean it up and paint, but I'd prefer no previous leaks.

Send me a PM if you have one and what you are looking for it?

Thanks

Bob
