396 Oil Pan

Suggestions on a good stock oil pan for the truck.
Unsure on quart size capacity. Want to ensure it clears crossmember
Thanks

As far as I know any car or pickup oil pan should fit. Many of the medium duty trucks have larger capacity pans that may or may not interfere depending on where you position the engine. I have a Moroso 8qt pan on the 454 in my Suburban, but that wouldn't be a good idea on a lowered truck.

a oil pan for a 66 chevelle big block is a good one for good cross member clearance .
I bought mine on ebay new .

x2 on the Chevelle oil pan. Plenty of clearance on my cross member.

any suggestions on source?
I wasn't sure about the aftermarkets vs. the GM originals.

I used GM original chevelle big block oil pan. Think I paid $25 on craigslist.

Not the best pic, but you can see the clearance here

I'm running a 396 on a drop member'd 65. obviously the drop member raises and moves the motor forward but i didn't have any clearance issues when i was running the stock suspension. i did end up getting a new replacement pan from summit without any fitment issues. Hope that helps.

There is a bit more room with a pickup suspension crossmember than there is in a car such as a Chevelle or Camaro. Most any BBC oil pan should fit short of one of the large sump pans found in the medium duty trucks.
