Bypass filter question

Am going to install a Amsoil single bypass filter. Did a search but didn't find a lot for the first gen trucks. Was wondering what are my options for installing the drain line. I saw drilling and tapping the valve covers(just installed new chrome covers so don't care much for this idea) or into the oil fill spout. Where on the spout is this done? Any other locations that can be used?

Thought I'd ask this, there are several of you that have them and I wanted to pull some of that experience. Can anyone E-mail pictures of their installation?
