240 and 300 oil pumps didn't have a screw-in oil pickup tube. And it's the oil pump, not the pan, that dictates whether the tube is bolt on or screw on/in. The Ford 240 and 300 catalog callout for oil pump is the same from beginning to end. The pickup tube for a 4WD is 74-S3. There is a shorter pickup tube for the 2WD version. The 4WD must have had a deeper pan shaped to go over the front axle. Amazon for $59. Rockauto is less but they're out of stock.
The pickup attaches to the oil pump oil inlet with a two bolt flange and a gasket. You can also buy the oil pan new.
no sir they picked my motor up and took it to indiana they didnt have one on the shelf sent mine back with different oil pan and my oil pan was in the box with junk wrote on it.what they didnt like about it i dont know

You can also buy the oil pan new. But not from Ford, it's obsolete...and none are available NOS
