Not so fast there. There are a few different styles known to have been used in production. Chevrolet may have had more than one supplier for it.
Learning more and more about less and less...

Guys,

Try these. Pan number 3974251, NOS pictured here, note date on the instruction sheet (2/69). Later pan that superceded this one was 465220 if I remember correctly. The three sticks pictured here are the '68 grey tip 3876869 (with tag), '69 crimped original from my '69 Z, and a "brown" tip 3896912. All are the same length, handles differ slightly.

More if you need it -

Regards,
Steve

Try these - I actually had better ones, but my stupid iPhone uses 2.5 mb for each picture. I'll give them to you in two replies -

Believe it - this pan has never been on an engine, the factory paint is terrible (molecule thin on one side), but I have resisted the urge to restore it because I have never seen another early number like this for sale - ever. Anyone else ever seen one like this ?

Steve

Jerry has it covered pretty good! Just adding some service replacement to orig. pics.
Note differences around the reinforcement hole plates between the orig vs. serv. replacement.
And the original supplied GM drain plug used on this particular pan.
Service replacement is the new black one ;D
