I traded a front sump even up for a late 60s a body pan last year and the guy wanted the front sump pan so bad that he offered to pay shipping both ways and put a set of oil pan gaskets in the tote with the a body pan..... He had a 68/69 truck (for which a front sump was designed for) and a "car" engine he was trying to put in.

Whichever truck I find when I finally have some dough. Now I have pans for both the 71 and back and 72-93. I'm real partial to the 73-73 trucks but good luck with that. lol
Oh and her's the finished front sump project.
Yes i like the 72.....

I would go and find a slant 6 van in a junkyard and use the whole dipstick setup. The tube will be higher up, so much easier to reach when checking the oil.

I know the 71 and up had "REAR" sumps for trucks and vans, but will not fit in cars. If you can make them fit, you can increase your oil by one Qt.. Just make sure you grab the pick-up also.
Yeah, no doubt if you gotta have one you gotta have one. They ain't growin on trees. As many millions of slant sixes that were made, I cannot believe no one makes an aftermarket pan for any of them.
I have the dipstick and tube for the rear sump pan. The pan in this thread is a front sump pan. It takes a dipstick tube that installs in the block similar to a car. I can make that.
I still have the parts truck

Sounds like a flathead carryover part, last FH in 64 0r 65 IIRC.
Does bell fit both? Anyone know?
That has mounts on it too
Ill post a pick of my 67 one

slant upper bolts are on the inside

funny looking at the pic it uses a hydro clutch wonder what the hole is for
and the screw ?

Those early hydraulic clutches could be very problematic! They used them on some larger trucks, too. Peddle feel poor.
That's nothing like mine. Mine has no outside bolt flange except maybe two on each side. The bolts attach from the inside.
The screw retains the clutch fork ball and the hole is where the fork goes through. The slave cylinder and clutch fork are on the passenger's side.
Yes thinking the screw is the adjustment for the ball pivot
For some reason I thought the hydraulic went inside the bell
Took it apart 4years ago

Screw is throwout fork ballstud. Window to remove fork before removing trans & to mount fork boot.
Then the throwout bearing can be slid on nose of trans before installation, no floppy fork to line up.
so this is the engine side wounder how many engines this would fit

Above starter hole looks like a hydraulic pump or marine W/P bolts there & bell is cover for pump.
Might fit forklift app, industrial engines, maybe farm apps. Probably not marine, as they never used those mounts & it's too heavy.
Military Museum had an Aircraft Tug with a Slant Six.
The inner bell asymmetrical shape fits rear of Flatheads' block.
A better picture of the Casting Numbers, date codes and any stamped numbers and letters you find, might help ID it, too.
Looks like the one from my 61 w200. It has the low mounted 3 bolt starter and several different engine bolt patterns.
Mine will work with the slant six and the flathead six, and there are 2 v8 patterns… I assume the A engine and hemi but not sure. Definitely not big block.
Being a 61 I think all the engines except the slant would be the longer flange with eight bolt crank, the slant had a weird flywheel with a spacer cast into it
