You can drill and tap there. If you do it on the truck, load up the drill bit and the tap with grease tp trap as much of the debris as you can.

I put in a Moroso pan and put in weld-in 12 AN bungs. Easy conversion.

I did mine on the drivers side...not as bad as it seems when you are talking about drilling your oil pan.
