A 1968 F100 has the correct width spring perches so it is a direct bolt in. Usually they come with 3.50 gearing as well. Its what I swapped into my 56, then I swapped third members for one with 3.89 gears and a detroit locker.

Actually all 1957 through 1972 F100 rear ends are a simple bolt in.
There's a lot more if you are willing to remove and replace the springs perches (which of course, involves welding).....
