Help finding new oil pan
Hi everyone,
I have a 1979 F150 300 Inline 6 (4.9L) 4x4 with a 4 speed manual. I have a fist size dent near the oil pan plug. When the previous owner did this it broke the seal of the gasket. I decided to fix this (oil leak) with out paying attention to part matching or numbers, before I ordered a Dorman oil pan for I think a V8 so it doesn't fit.
The numbers I took from the original equipment is D6UE-6675-AA. The D6UE might not be right. What I am trying to find with no luck is a new oil pan that fits this engine. The original oil pan has a port on the driver side for the dipstick, holds 6 quarts and the oil plug is in the rear bottom of the pan.
Where can I find a new oil pan?
Could I used the old oil pan with a new gasket?
A Mechanic told me it's better to replace the pan and gasket if the original had a dent in it. The old gasket did look like it had been flattened out.
I'd provide a picture but I don't have a garage and the oil pan is back on to protect everything from the weather in SD.
Thanks!

Don't Know if This will Help
You might consider:
Remove dent as much as possible. Make sure pan is is in good general shape to fit to block surfaces. If plug hole is damaged, weld or braze a 1/2" fine threaded nut to bottom of pan. Use a 1/2" fine threaded bolt to use as a new plug. Use a nylon washer for new plug gasket. A new coat of paint and you are good to go. It might not look like new, but it will work and the new plug will never strip out. Total expense - about $2.
This also works to fix a stripped out pan plug.
Like i said, this may or may not help you. Good luck,...jack
