Is there a good aftermarket source for y block oil pans?

No.  Only used, originals.

They got to be betting a little hard to come by.

No, pretty easy.  There is usually several on eBay.  If you have a good salvage yard within a couple hours drive, you can probably find some there.  As long as they have not been crushed or pierced, they're usually in good condition.  Since it's the lowest part of the engine, they are usually coated in a protective coating of oily grime.

One thing you should do is email or call the major manufacturers, Moroso, Milodon, Canton, etc. to ask about it.  None of them will have one and unless you're willing to spend a lot of money, none of them will build one for you but the more requests they get, the more likely it is that they will produce one.

Charlie's correct regarding eBay.  Usually there are several y-block oil pans available.  In checking this evening there are two (2) passenger car front sump units available, but no rear sump truck units listed.  To check on eBay, use the SEARCH box at the top of the page and just enter, 'Ford y-block oil pan'.  Be sure to look at what they're going to charge for shipping.  A few weeks ago someone had a rear sump pan on for $10, BUT had $50 listed for shipping cost from CA to NY.  I questioned the seller on it, but he claimed that's what FedEx was going to charge!  Ouch!  

Hope this helps.

However, I would say a total of $60 is not bad at all for a pan that cannot be had just anywhere.

$50 for something that big, to the opposite side of the country is probably about right.  It's the size, not the weight.

Shipping on large items gets expensive. Shipped a NOS '57 T-Bird quarter pannel to New York once. Cost a bit more than I had estimated.

I have an additional rear sump truck pan that is not a "stepped" pan, it's a true rear-sump. Has the baffle and pickup still attached. Let me know if you're interested. I also have an NOS, never installed rear sump "stepped" pan, with no baffle, but I'm currently using it for mock-up fabrication right now. I may or may not use it.

All truck pans are "stepped."  The 6 quart pan steps down twice.  The 7 quart pan steps down once.  Both are more or less wedge shaped.  Which one do you have?

Terminology I guess. The NOS one is the 2-step one. I have a used 1 step rear sump pan, with pickup.
