IIRC, the older trucks with the cork gaskets didn't need sealant. However, I've used just enough in the past to hold the gasket in place while getting the bolts put in.

The later trucks used the FIPG sealant, without that gasket.

Hope that helps; just make sure all your surfaces are CLEAN!

That's the nice thing about the solid axle; you don't have to screw around holding your mouth right putting up the pan, unlike with the IFS. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
