Re: The Blue Goose
Longterm plans:
Fix ALL the rust/make the inside cozy warm and no holes LOL Fix ALL the oil leaks and probably do a cam swap (xe268/roller cam) Posi Make it a swb if I can find a frame new wheels (if i go swb some tt2 or the boss wheels that are similar)f Maybe get it painted, but I think if i make it too nice i wouldnt wanna drive it Get all the 68 trim on. If I go with 'big' wheels (way down the road) i'll loose the spotlight. (This is all WAY longterm lol). Also, while Im wishing, I wanna house paid for with a big shop lol

"Fix ALL the rust/make the inside cozy warm and no holes LOL" Years ago I had done a cab swap b/c my other cab had some major rust along the top of the cab/ driprail area and kick panels/ floor area. I remember how cold it would get inside of the cab during winter even though the heater was on. It was kinda funny because all of the layers of clothing you would have to wear just to be somewhat comfy. I allways felt bad for my girlfriend at the time b/c she likely would have froze to death in that old cab. Just keep plugging away at the old girl. You will get her where you want her to be someday.

Re: The Blue Goose
do you have the original stamped steel pan? you may have bent or warped sealing surface.

Re: The Blue Goose
Ok
It fits the block timing chain cover area good, but the oil pan is too big or something for it..

Re: The Blue Goose
There are two different gaskets depending on the radius of the curved portion of the oil pan under the timing cover: thin 2 1/4", and thick 2 3/8". That could be it.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...84&postcount=4 Other than that, the gasket surfaces must be clean as a whistle and flat. If it is a Felpro kit, read the instructions thoroughly. Torque all the bolts with a torque wrench. It's a long and tedious job if you are crawling underneath.

Re: The Blue Goose
The sections between the holes are part of the sheet metal stamping and should be left as is. The area surrounding each hole is usually distorted from overtightening the bolts, so these should be carefully hammered back flat again. Check the flanges with a good straightedge, they should be flat front to back and side to side.
Can't say about the return. In most cases, once a gasket package seal is broken, they are yours forever. Won't hurt to try to return it, sometimes those guys have a heart. Good luck.
