I'll make some guesses and assumptions here.
I'll assume you figured the flywheel (flex plate/ring) gear because you listened
for the noise location.
Get a short piece of hose and use it as a stethescope; Hold one end to your ear
and prod around with the other end. Try putting it on the bottom of the oil pan
at the rear. I'm thinking oil pump here, as my experience with failed oil pumps
in Fords is that they are often noisy.
You really should give more info on the truck, like engine size.
