In a word, yes.

You can do it in a TBird, probably a sedan but may have the axle in the way with a F100. Check a truck shop manual, they may have the procedure to remove it..

If I remember correctly the trucks used a rear sump pan so axle clearance should not be a problem so yes the seal can be replaced in the vehicle.

Plenty of room in a truck, easy to remove the pan.

First time - If you haven't done one on a Ford Y- Block before, best link from here to Ted Eaton's Eaton Balancing site & go to his seal instalation page. A rear seal done wrong will likely be a worse leaker than you have now!.. Original factory seals aren't available usually, so one company that makes later ones is Best Seal..
