I will definitely get the R 134 fill neck and any parts by the evaporator box.

If the dash is good, I might take you up on the "I'll send you the whole dash" offer. If you go to pull it I will tell you the secret, Ford says to R&R it with the column casting and column attached. I usually pull the column and then the parking brake pedal and remove the I think 4 M6X1.0 8mm head bolts that are vertical on the casting (one over the steering column) then the 4 M10X1.5 bolts that hold the casting to the cab side. There is one hefty brace near the center of the hump, one skinny one on the right side. One M6X1.0 bolt under the right side door post trim. You need to remove the A pillar trim which wraps over the door and then the 4 7mm head screws across the base of the windshield, whole dash will roll back so you can get the temp cables (please save) and vacuum harness loose. Firewall plugs push in from outside. All the other wiring plugs in to the 14401 dash harness.

Perhaps I shouldn’t convert to serpentine. That’s just one more thing I don’t need to do. So, surely I can find a way to use the hydro boost without using the bracket? And then Bill can use the compressor.

You can use the Hydroboost with any PS pump
You just need a reservoir connection for the extra return from the brakes.

I'll try to get a picture of the back of the C2 reservoir tomorrow.

Bill,
The firewall plugs are already pushed through.
I will put the cluster back in and unbolt as instructed.

It is not mint, but was a weldors truck, so he kept it pretty nice.
So, a little wear, but it was not a fleet truck or been through 10 owners.
And not a southern truck where the dash pad baked in the sun every day.

Jim, I assume Gary is getting the steering column for the shifter, what shape is the steering wheel in, it should be the same style as mine with no air bag.

When you start serious destruction, if you are unbolting the core support, could you stick the hardware in Gary's stuff so he can powder coat them for me. Thanks!

Not sure I need the steering column. All I would want is the shifter, and I’m not sure it can be grafted onto the Bullnose column. And, I’ll have the dash-mounted switch from the ‘90 truck - at least that’s my understanding.

So, if you want the column go for it.

Duh! I just typed “ZF” on a post I’m working on and didn’t make the connection.

But, while on the ZF theme, did you get the harness that goes to the ZF? I need the connector so I can connect into BB’s harness.

That darn plug is stupid expensive.

I remember from when I went from T-19 to Zf-5

Yes, if if is in decent shape, mine is starting to come apart where the "cover" is stitched. Also, in stripping it down, if it isn't to big an issue, I would like to get the heater inside case, don't need the core, just the box. It is for another project, EATC for the trucks that will do the air distribution splits like the later trucks.

The passenger side Dash Mount is broken as they all are.
I don't have my 5.5 mm TFT socket with me, is it okay to cut the inertia switch the passenger kick panel?
Do you want the whole heater ducting all the way to the firewall?

Just unplug it or if you want cut the piece it attaches to out. On the heater duct, yes, all the inside to the firewall, you can keep the core for yours.

On the right end, no problem Bronco Graveyard has a nice metal repair bracket that solves the issue.

For who, you I assume. I just had to replace mine, leaking along the left side tank crimp.
