Yes, 4th gen f-body LS pan, 1998-2002.
Holley also makes a pan that fits fine. Most don't consider it because it is typically more expensive than a used f-body pan.

Re: oil pan question
Cheapest option is to modify the truck pan. Mine turned out fine. Actually, the cheapest option is to fab your own from mild steel, I did it, but for my 4WD S-10, haven't test-fitted it in my 'maro yet.

Re: oil pan question
That assumes you have access to the proper equipment, like cutting and Al welding.

Re: oil pan question
I also bought a new F-body complete oil pan. FYI - the new production parts use an LS3 oil filter, not LS1.
Not necessarily the most budget minded but hey.... it's done and it fits. When I think of having fun working on my car the last thing that comes to mind is making an oil pan.
