John Hinckley posted a pic in the other thread. The one I saw is a truck oil pan.

Re: 1956 Oil Pan

Gary, I have a E1956 and looking for a oil pan, I think a 56 Chevy truck will work? Can you help? Thanks, Joe Pennacchio (48633)

Re: 1956 Oil Pan

Joe,

Not sure what else the '56 Corvette style pan was used on.

The P&A says 56 D-D (Double Duty, Forward Control Chassis) Util (Utility) 8 cyl, w/baffle

Utility = 1 1/2 ton truck.

Ed McComas and other '56 guys have more information and hopefully they'll see this thread.

Ed, I have a E1956 and looking for an oil pan. I think a 56 Chev truck can be used, does this truck oil pan have a plug in front of the dip stick? Do you have any pictures?

I have seen oil pans with a plug forward of the dipstick and I believe they were used on trucks, but I don't know what years. I don't have any photo's of a truck pan.

Re: 1956 Oil Pan

Here is a photo of the truck oil pan. The plug was used for a oil cooling line, as I recall. Very similar to the 1st version 56 Corvette oil pan. Attached Thumbnails

Re: 1956 Oil Pan

The Corvette oil pan was also used on some 2 ton trucks, as I recall. A freind of mine recently purchased one of these pans from a 56 265 out of a truck. If I remember correctly the engine code on that engine was F56H.
