I did some searching online and it is acctually a cover plate. If you want to remove it and install the part it is part number 121G on O'Reilly website

That is hilarious... I never even went to O'Reillys website earlier... I just assumed you had actually found it.... Lol

Good times.

This has been a great thread with absolutely no information or solutions. Glad it happened

What is located exactly below this plate? Steering? Crossmember? I still think it is a roadkill protection plate.

How would this plate protect roadkill? It doesn't even have memory foam?

Just bumping this because it was a funny thread

After doing some extensive research, that plate was the brainstorm of the lead engineer at the GM headquarters. He incorporated it into the pans of the majority of the NNBS engines to:
1. Make GM owners think that they can access the oil pick up tube.
2. Make GM owners remove 3 of the bolts before they realize that it does not detach.
3. Make TYF members create a thread on said plate.
4. Make a particular TYF member (me) give this stupid answer just to bump this thread for Brian Wilson's amusement.

looks to be the right size and shape as an insurance card holster.
with shimming could also hold a " batteries plus rewards card"
