Front sump?

Any FE or FT pan will bolt up.

the issue is that most 7 quart pans are either to deep or to wide

For more oil capacity, an FT or an FE 4wd pan might fit the truck. (Top photo is for an FT). Like the OP said, I believe the cross member and/or the steering linkage might interfere. And you may have to fabricate a baffle system and a place for a dipstick.

Fwiw, I use a standard volume and pressure pump with oil restriction to the heads and the 2wd pan. I tow and haul but don't do hard acceleration or take the curves real fast so 5 quarts of oil is sufficient.
