89 F350 DRW with a PSD

[IDIoit]

it hasnt been that bad.
some minor fab work,
stripping down another truck, that ive torn apart for the MANchero project.

the issue with the brick nose dash, is that the bricks never had a PS.
and to get the gauge cluster for the PS to fit was near impossible.

the HVAC system wasnt a big deal, the OBS dash damn near was a direct swap.

its the steering thats gonna take some time, not difficult. but time is money is parts i get to order from people like yourself!

no job is too big, i just didnt want to go splicing wires.
ill do that on my own project lol

no job is too big

I'm reminded of a Bill Murray line from "Ghostbusters"... "No job is too big, no FEE is too big!!"

bad news, my column i bought does not fit the support.
something is haywire.
ive been summoned out of the shop for the night, so i will see what i did wrong tomorrow.

Show us some pics of your column problem and I will snap some ice of mine if needed.

Get the pedals?

 

[IDIoit]

yep got the pedals yesterday, tomorrow ill install them and modify the hanger bracket.
thank you!

i dont know what i did, but the column does not seem to line up.
ill make another attempt tomorrow.

 

[IDIoit]

the column is definitely incorrect.
good ole flea bay.
the support has a 7.5" CTC on the bolts, the column is 8"
also the back brace does not fit.

item was listed as 92-96 F150,250,350,bronco....
time to return it.

 

[IDIoit]

Okay... to just sound really stupid.... what computer??? Didn't you ZF swap this thing?? What other computer is there?

read the title of the thread Mike


PSD's are electronic.

FYI even IDI trucks have three modules back there. One's the ABS box...probably the same one on the PSD truck. One's a cruise control computer, and the other one's the chime/buzzer.

So, the only trucks that are computer-free are '86 and older IDI trucks that didn't have ABS yet and don't have cruise control.

86 does have cruise
