They gave me 2 options but both are over an inch too long. The front seal fits perfectly.

Also the side seals are odd, the one with the indent for the dipstick doesn't quite line up with the holes but the side without the indent fits that side perfectly (minus not having that indent).

Thoughts?

Figured it out. Apparently the oil pan profile for 79 and older (my truck) is slightly different from one from an 80-85 (this motor).

Glad you figured it out. Amazon is not the answer, sometimes a trip to an actual store is best
