Stripped Oil Pan 1988 K10 4x4 Std Cab 305

[sm1960]

My teenage son has watched me change the oil several times now in his truck. Over the weekend, he did it on his own and cross-threaded the plug. Options are the std over-sized self tapping plug, an over-size self tapping plug that has it's own inter plug(plug within a plug) or to replace the pan.

 

On a 1988 K10, std cab, 4x4 with a 305 can you drop the pan without having to jack the engine? If so, is it as simple at changing a transmission pan? I've done the tansmision before, but not an engine oil pan. Thanks for all the help.

I think I would just go with an oversized self-tapping plug. Save dropping anything from under the engine.
