Solid Axle Trap Door Oil Pans

[Bill M.]

I ran across a trap door pan on eBay that has a different baffle configuration than my '62 pan. Both pans are 3-step with one long vertical rib centered fore-aft in the deep sump section of the pan. Here's the baffles:

'60-'61 3769761?



'62 3789629?



The question marks are because these pans have not been removed from an unmolested original car. It's guesswork on my part.

Looks to me that there are more than one vertical rib in the second picture. Are the end openings the same size?

Nope. It's sitting right next to me. One rib. It's a service part from 1964. The first picture is from eBay, so I don't know for sure about the opening, but the sacond picture is the early, small opening.
