I've seen some "original" pans for sale but they look converted to me as the front seems to have had conversion work done to them with some sort of glue or sealer inside the very front area.

Can anyone confirm if factory correct 53 - 54 pans should have the inside front area coated with a sealer or is that a good indication of a converted passenger car pan?

Thanks for any help

Not sure what you were looking at or who was showing it to you but I have never seen a 53 or a 54 oil pan with some kind of conversion or some kind of coating or sealer on the inside or outside of the oil pan. I would think that a sealer on the inside of the oil pan would not be a good deal in case it came off in the oil and you can bet that if it would have been there from the factory that it would never have lasted 60 + years. I do believe that Bubba was trying to sell you some BULL S-it.
