New World Datsuns...

So I need a new oil pan, mine has been living the low life too long haha. It's leaving g puddles but it'll do till I can find one. I'm looking for one in the Portland area and I can pick it up. Any one have one laying around? Hell I'd even take someone else's holy one and weld it up to swap on if it was cheap

Make a skid pan for it. If 'bumps' are bottoming it out it will just keep doing so.

I'm not low enough for it to be a problem right now, one of the previous owners had flipped leafs and completely slammed front. Then my truck took off down hill even tho it was in gear with the wheels chocked, that's when the oil pan took it's worst hit cause the truck was off road lol might do a skip pad tho just cause I can. I can possibly even get it powder oated for cheap too

It's a skid pan. Just make out of 1/4" aluminum and bolt it on.

No I can't simply make something... I must overdo it! Lol I work at a machine shop so I'm prolly gonna try to make something that looks purdy too

did you find one? i can get you one if you need.

Haven't found one yet, probably just gonna get one from pick and pull I guess. I'm a long ways south from where you're at lol I appreciate the offer tho

yes but, my buddy has a stack of them. I can see if he is going that way man. i just let go of my last one attached to a motor

Oh that would work well then haha. See what he wants for one and we'll figure out a way to meet up from there. I'm not leaking super bad so it's not a huge rush

There's an 80 720 with L20b in the foster pick n pull...

Did you ever find one of these? I have one sitting in my shop.

Izzo had a line on a stack of them, haven't heard anything for awhile tho. I'll pm him lol

If you can snag one easier from micro be my guest man. no hard feelings!

Ok lol I'll shoot a pm over to micro and see if I can get the wheels Rollin

So I'm guessing you don't like to pull parts?? What are you willing to pay for a pan??

It's not that I have a problem with pulling parts myself. It's last time I was looking for parts at pick and pull I drove to north Portland, south Portland, and Sherwood and none of the parts I was after were worth pulling. Basically wasted an entire day on nothing lol an oil pan ain't worth another wasted day if I can pick one up I know for sure is worth it

i can bring one down im sure, not this friday but the following if still in need

That's all part of owning these vintage vehicles.....

I'll let you know for sure Izzo

Yep I know komi lol usually I'll pull my own parts. But I'm more focused on finishing body and paint than running around to junk yards right now.
