Something I learned while on vacation building 74 frame and driveline/70 body for my Dad. To fit an early model 1F oil pan (Off a 70 model) on a later model 1F in a 74 model with the newer oil pump you have to bend the fin in the oil pan closest to the drain plug to get it to fit. If you don't the pan will not seat flat.

Gasket advice: I was on a tight timeline and ordered the Fel Pro gasket from Advanced auto parts which is a 4 piece cork. The sides fit perfectly but trying to get the end pieces it while putting up the pan is a heck of a challege even with using a tube of silicone to try and stick them in. Short story was $15 thrown away. I called Toyota today and ordered the factory gasket which is a 1 piece and the way to go. About $19 with our discount. Just FYI next time you need a gasket or crack your oil pan on a rock
