OP, I feel your pain. I'm about to open my wallet to have the oil pan on my 7.3 replaced. Most of my work is DIY, but for pan replacement I keep getting stuck on "Step 1: Remove cab from frame".
Farmers fix. quik,cheap but it will end up a little heavier.
I found a shop locally who will do the whole job for about $1,400.00. They remove the radiator support and pull the engine from the front. Not a bad deal.
They are not mechanics ,but they fix everything and it stays fixed
