I don't know about the 03, but my 00 is wide open...you get to it from the bottom of the truck and use a filter (big) wrench.

Guess you're right - must be a 6.0 - I found this on the Ford Fleet Website. It's kinda generic, but maybe it'll help:

Use Ford Engine Oil Filter Part No. 3C3Z-6731–AA (FL–2016) or
equivalent. These filters protect your engine by filtering harmful,
abrasive or sludge particles. The FL–2016 filters particles significantly
smaller than most available “will-fit” filters.
To replace the filter,
1. Unscrew the oil filter cap and wait a few seconds for the oil to drain
through the built-in drain valve. Note: The filter should be changed
before reinstalling the oil pan drain plug.
2. Reinstall and tighten the oil filter cap.
