Yep, good luck finding cartridges for that one.

My original 68 327 has the cannister. I have only done one oil change so far, but it was easy on the lift. The o-ring came right out and it really wasn't that messy with an oil drain thingy under it. I am trying my best to keep everything as original as possible just because the truck is so nice, but if I had a truck that was not original or not in really good shape, I would convert it for ease.

The knowledge I've obtained over the years:
The small journal small block went away in 1967, also last year for cartridge oil filter

1968 and up is spin on.
This is for small block.

If it's like the Franz filter, it takes a roll of toilet paper...if you can find one!

My '69 3/4 ton with a 350 (casting date Nov.27, 1968) came new with a canister filter. I installed a spin-on kit sometime in the 70s. However, the cars may have switched to spin-on earlier than trucks.
