New transmission pan replacement?

Planning on replacing my factory trans pan on a 92 F150 4.9 with an auto E4OD. Mine has a nice dent from a previous owner hitting it, plus I’d like a drain plug. My question is the Dorman brand part number 265-805 is listed as a non fit on amazon. These look identical from the size, shape and bolt holes. Anyone used this before? Some comments on amazon say they fit 95 f150 4x4 with E4OD so I think I’m going to order one, and if I hear differently I can usually return easily since it’s amazon prime.

The pan is different depth for 4x2 and 4x4. Which do you need?

I need 2 wheel drive. Dang, I kept looking but can't find a pan for my truck that isn't super expensive. Guess it's junk yard time.

Oh haha, yes I've had to get creative on a few edits myself with the no delete post option. Thanks for the lqm suggestion, that's a little far from me but it's worth the drive to avoid the ridiculous prices ive seen for replacement pans online. Theres a yard in alvin that's 10 or so minutes from my house i'll try first and if they don't have one it's houston or bust! Thanks again.

The 1995 and newer takes a rubber (neoprene) reusable gasket that have round metal rings around the bolt holes.
This rubber (neoprene) gasket will leak if you put it on a 1994 or older E4OD with a 1994 or older pan.
The 1994 and older take the cork gasket.

So to use the newer pan on a 1994 or older E4OD as I have done you just need to put it on with the rubber (neoprene) gasket.
If I remember right the 1995 and newer pan has bigger holes for the round metal rings around the bolt holes.

And yes a 2 wheel drive takes a shallow pan and with the 4X4 you can uses either pan with the matching filter. The deep 4X4 or F53 takes the deeper pan and filter from the factory for better cooling.
