What years will that 235 pan fit? Also is the front motor mount worth saving? I'd hate to throw this out if it is a hard to find item that could help out a fellow member of this site.

A 1945 pan will have dipper troughs in it and would need to be cut out to be used on a full pressure engine.
I am sure someone here will want the mount.

Will the sumps be in the same place? Also, when I buy a pan gasket set, there are always three long cork side pieces. One has a little bump out in it and that is the one that I don't use on my 51. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 . | | .

You can use a 216/splash 235 pan on a full pressure 53,54 & 55 first series truck if you cut out the troughs.

Thanks all for the info!
