Since it is a Truck, the truck pans would work ok.. but how low is the truck.. if you are down to the ground.. then

CTS-V, as it has a shorter lower slump but is about 2" more in ground clearance than the Truck.
And then the F-Body, would be my next choices. F-Body maybe tight, depending on where you locate the engine (how far back you can go.) the lower slump is longer that the CTS-V and Truck.

But not the GTO, that is front slump.

Check the FAQ/Sticky for the Oil Pan Dimension (or S&P website).
