Go to NAPA Joco

Those boys can fix you up with the parts you need. If I was you I would try to find a manual for your truck. They are usually under $40 and they are worth the weight in gold when you get the job done right without paying a high priced mechanic to do it for you.

Good luck

My advice joco would be to drain the oil before I remove the pan.... :wink: :lol: . But I am sure you knew that. Also while you are at it change the oil filter, it is just another 5 minutes to do in a cold garage
