Haven't done it on one of these trucks, but have done mopar and chevy. not too bad as long as you have clearence to get the pan out.
If need be you could unbolt motor mounts and raise the engine a tad for more clearence.

According to some manuals, if you raise the engine as far as you can, unbolt the pan and tilt it so you can drop the oil pump pickup off, you can remove the pan with the engine in the chassis.
If you dropped the oil pump off as well, that should make it easier.
But you have to remember to put everything you drop off back in the oil pan before you reinstall it, and then put everything back on after the oil pan is in place before bolting it up.
I have never done it this way, but you are SUPPOSED to be able to.

Is that just raising the engine bolted to the frame, or are the mounts freed? How would you go about raising it? I am picking up my old engine from my buddies place and getting a cherry picker from a rental place that will let me have it for the whole weekend. I may just free the engine from the mounts and lift it a little to see how this will work but if i dont have to let go of the mounts, i dont want to. So dave what do you think?

OK,I've had the pan off a Fox body before.Loosen motor mounts and raise the engine as far as you can.Then you loosen the pan and drop the pump and pickup tube into the pan and wiggle it out of the chassis.I just wondered if the truck would work the same.
