The 4x4 requires a rear sump pan because of the cross member.
The oil pan on a 4x2 is located at the front so the drain hole and pan clearance are comprised on 4x4.
Rear sump oil pan and Rear sump oil pump pickup are required.

Went out to my garage to look at the 84 351w, yes it is a rear sump, thanks for your response.

And just for reference, the rear sump pan on the 80's trucks will fit ok in a 2wd, just don't nail a big bump at speed. I've been running a rear sump pan for about 4 years now in a 2wd. It's also much easier and neater to change the oil than on the front sump pan.
