62 340 oil pan baffles one more time w/ pic

[Chris H.]

OK guys, one more try at a picture of my 62 340hp oil pan inside baffles. Can any one confirm
1.) is this an original pan?
2.) is the GM service part in stock 359937 have the same baffles?
3.) any one have one they can part with?

thanks, Chris

Chris----

1) It looks like an original baffling configuration to me;

2) The GM #359937 has the same baffling;

3) No, but you can still get the GM #359937 from GM so no one needs to part with one.

Thanks, I am going to also see how many GM has in stock and if they will produce more.

Why?, just order the one you need and an extra one too if it makes you feel good. Of course, if the guy behind the Chevy parts counter can tell you that GM only has 7 left in their central pars depot, with no plans EVER to produce more, BUY 'EM!!! You'll make a small fortune, unless Paragon or some other supplier decides to license the tooling and reproduce the pan. Still you could always say yours are NOS.

By knowing how to read the spot welds , you can tell which oil pan you have with out dropping it to see, . All drain plugs where marked TR or A. The #3769761 is late 60 and 61 and 62??
