Subject:Oil drain plug for '85

Howdy all,

After 18 months and and a good 10k miles or so, I finally felt ashamed
enough to change my Crew Cab's oil. I went out to do it last weekend, but it
looks like the PO buggered up the drain plug pretty well. I want to have a
replacement plug on hand before trying to remove the old one.

I called the local dealer, and he told me I needed part # 068 103 193A as
the replacement drain plug. His price is about $22.00! But at least he will
include the washer for that price. ;)

When I look on the busdepot.com site, I see part # N 029 7012 for $3.95

Does anyone know if the Busdepot $4 plug will work?
