So I tried to do some searching and all the information I found on oil pan removal being difficult was on ifs trucks. I have a stock non-lifted 1985 pickup solid axle. I Need to remove the oil pan because it has a leak and im going reseal it. I already have the fipg toyota sealant my only question is, for my truck can I just unbolt and drop the pan or it is more complicated like the ifs trucks?
thank you

You might have to jack it up just a tad under the front hanger to give yourself more room but otherwise that's about it.

thanks wabbit, So I dropped the pan and changed the sealant in the pan put everything back together waited a couple hours filled the truck with new oil the same stuff I always use and upon checking the level for the first time although the truck was not warm at all the dipstick showed little bubbles and a little white. The old oil I drained was fine. Should I be worried? has anyone experienced this? I am not going to warm the truck up until tomorrow to make sure the sealant has a good dry bond

I would guess possibly that as you poured in new oil, it maybe gathered some condensation from the head/valve cover area and carried it down to the pan? Im not very sure. Maybe just start it and run it to burn some slight condensation off, if thats what it is...
