The truck pickup tube fits the majority of the early oil pans used on pre 8ba blocks, when using the short type pumps, which many folks now prefer using rather than the older/longer pumps. Keep in mind though, in many cases you will need to remove the center section of an oil baffle to clear the pick up tube & screen. You may also need to set the depth of the screen relative to the bottom of the oil pan by very carefully bending the pick up tube.
