"Snake Eyes" 1985 F350 Project Thread
Actually I think you are right about straight to relay. I was guessing that the dash light for the plugs came from the controller, but it probably makes more sense coming from the relay. That being said, aren't the 7.3 controllers a lot more reliable than the 6.9's? That was the general...- dbg03

"Snake Eyes" 1985 F350 Project Thread
The first thing I did when we got it home was clean it up real good, and swap out the drivers side door so it wasn't exposed to the elements.(the original door was missing its glass, and had been open for a year). We also got it started, but it ran like hot garbage. It barely idled and was...- dbg03

Will 96 doors line up with an 85?
Thanks for the response. Up here clean parts for the 82-86 are almost non existent. I’ll look into how hard it would be to patch up the fenders and doors I currently have- dbg03
