Re: 67C10 no drop, 5.3L truck LS oil pan ok?

My factory 5.3 truck pan hangs down about an inch or so past the crossmember, but my truck is stock height and I have not had a problem in the 35k miles I've put on it. That said, the pan in my Nova is actually above the crossmember, and I hit a rock in downtown Kansas City in the middle of the road and the crossmember rolled over it and when it did, it came down hard on the pan and busted a big hole in it, so anything can happen.....
