Oil pan help

Hello everyone I have a 1977 Ford F-250 custom with a 351M and I’m needing a oil pan it’s a front slump pan but I’m having issues finding one because the aftermarket ones all have the drain plug on the side which the front crossmember is in the way and the factory pans had a plug in the back so I’m curious if someone has one for sell or a place I can buy them thanks

Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about I had a aftermarket pan on there before and as you can see the drain plug is right next to the crossmember and i swapped that pan and put the factory one back on until I dropped the motor and crushed the damn pan

I can't tell what part of the world you live in, but you might try the salvage yards.

Texas is where he is...I am sure that locating one for a 2wd would be way easier than a 4wd rear sump. Have you hit up your FTE state chapter?

If you can't find one, alter the one you have by welding a thick piece of steel, where you need the drain to be. Then drill and tap a hole for the drain plug.
