Are you telling me I have PMS??? LOL, checked and replied.

Not cheap, but maybe an option?

Might be worth some further checking with the manufacturer. Under the specs it says "one piece rear seal"?????

Reading  further..."no dipstick tube'

 As stated in the Chevytalk thread, the only stock looking pan that will fit our 65-70 B body big blocks other than the GM OEM pan is the 501169 Pioneer. If you look at all those other ones listed in the interchange, they are wrong, they are a 1 step pan and the original is a 2 step pan.

Once again the internet is full of bad information, sadly. I'm not sure where that interchange is wrong but if anyone relies on it they will be upset at the money they wasted if they didn't buy the Pioneer 501169.

 I only checked that Spectre pan because I thought it would possibly have been made in Canada and might have been cheaper to buy. It was too late last night to check them all. The price has gone up close to 50% since last year when I was looking  at them. But like you said  there is lots of bad info on the internet. Summit I find is usually 99% right on with there description and specifications. So I was surprised when I saw they said it did not have a dipstick hole.  The list of alternates I think I found on the Spectre site.

So I was just putting it out there for reference, as ALWAYS, it is up to the individual to check internet info 6 ways from Tuesday

is a truck pan a no go?

It's weird they say it has no dipstick provision because all the 501169 images online show it clearly has the short tube spot welded on the side.

Have you ever seen a Big Block Chevy oil pan without a dipstick provision?  I haven't.

 Exactly, that's why it seems so odd. I'm sure it's a misprint.

 But does a one piece rear seal take the same pan?  That's the info that jumped out at me at first time I read it. Summit is my place to go to check for  "info" when I'm looking at parts, very unusual for them to be wrong I find.

Check out Parts Avatar - I ordered a big block pan for 67 396 and it looks perfect but haven't installed it yet.

 That one doesn't fit the steering linkage on the B body though Bernie. The front of the sump is too far forward and the steering centre link hits the pan.
