I thought that 67-72 were all the same, not sure though. Might post you're question in the 67-72 forum. I'm sure that you will get an answer there. They will probably like to see your build. I tried copying the link and posting it here, but I have a terrible time with my phone!

I have no idea why all the kits say they will work with 1970-up but not 1969. I have a 1968 F250 2wd and it is stupid simple... why not just buy some spacers and source some longer hardware based on what you take out? This seriously can't be that complicated. I am curious what the reasoning is, but it can't be that major.

Has anybody ever heard of making our motors a front oil sump. The pan fits both ways I just tried I would only have to make a relief for the dip stick and redo the pick up tube.

If I'm not mistaken, I think some of the International trucks and or busses had different oil pans.

Yes sir! Have I mentioned, I love the bump sides? Only thing that would make it better....if it was a crew cab! Bump side with an IDI!

I like the look of the crew cabs but I needed a single I already have a crew and extended (but they aren't bump sides)
