The oil pan per the workshop manual is supposed to be installed with the engine removed. You will see when you go to remove the old one why that it is. The oil pan is so deep it is difficult to get out. It is possible to do in the truck but you have to jack the motor way up.

Does anyone know if the OBS 7.3 L oil pans work in a super duty because my dads 96 oil pan looks brand new where mine is rusting out so I think the must have switched to a crappier metal and maybe one of those will hopefully never need to be replaced

I pulled my engine with a forklift. Put it back in with an overhead hoist. Dont know what your options are where you are working, but I believe that the hoist for the install was a lot easier than the forklift would have been, no engine noise (better communication) and we could make smaller adjustments in height and forward/backwards putting it in. Just my .02 on that part.
Hate that you have to pull the engine for a leak, but sounds like your comming along good with it.
