I need to remove the oil pan on my '35 1 1/2 ton to fix the oil pump screen. It still has the original 207. Can it be done without taking motor mounts lose and raising the engine? I have it lose and the front will just barely drop down behind the front cross member. The back won't come as the back end just sits down on the rear cross member.

NJA,
It seems that you've answered your own question. If you can't lower the pan won't you have to raise the engine? I have that same engine in a '36 high cab pickup.
