I believe so. The 2wd trucks have the front sump and the 4x4s have the rear sump/pickup.
There are few if any high capacity aftermarket pans that fit the 2wds. I've gone to the FT oil pan from the bigger F Series of that generation. It holds about 10 quarts and has a rear pickup that's good for 1/4 mile romps.

I think the rear sump pans are easier to come by. Check this sites sponsors first, follow the "Parts Shop" link at the upper right.
Check Jegs and Summit, if nothing then check the Canton web site....

Too bad you need it right now because I'm running a tired old 360 that's not worth anything in my '71 4x4 until I can save for a 460 build. I think the oil pan is probably the only thing worth a darn on that motor. The rest is junk.
EDITed :
Oh, and when you get the 4x4 pan, don't forget you need a rear sump pick up for it and the bracket that attaches to one of the main caps. A junk yard may be your best bet.
