Came across this on FB. Says it for a Ford flathead, but I’ve never seen one like this.

As Tony noted . . . a very common oil pan. The one that is harder to find (and worth a lot more) is the later rear-sump pan. I believe they came on certain Mercs and Trucks? Anybody know the specifics?

Thanks! I’ve never seen one with those side ribs.
