Re: 71 c10 oil pan recommendation
I would say having the pan above the crossmember is a good idea, but nothing in life is guaranteed. Just for sh!ts and grins, this is an F body pan I took off my Nova. It sits above the crossmember by 3/4" or so. I hit a rock in the middle of the road in mid town Kansas City, notsome back road in the middle of nowhere. Crossmember hit the rock and the car rolled over it and when it cleared, it came down right on the pan.

Re: 71 c10 oil pan recommendation
I never really care enough that my oil pan is about 1-1/2" above (or below, lol) the cross member as I am running 225/70/19.5 all around along with HD shocks/springs that makes the truck sit higher. Between the tires and shocks I have at least 2" of extra clearance. But after reading this thread though I hope to build a skid plate out of 1/4" steel plate that bolts to the cross member and covers the entire oil pan. My engine is fully rebuild and I don't want to mess with it again.
