heres the short story.....My BF's dad owned one it was his first truck...well he found another one thats really clean..had it all painted pretty....But he wants me to Jump in clean up the wiring and dash

What I need is a pic of a stock dash so I can put everything back where it belongs wipers choke lights..also need engine size and color and a good place to buy parts...it needs at least a harness a Radio and a new dash glass..not sure if any guages work or not..

If you can wait until Tuesday I can scan and post a diagram I made out of info in the Factory Assembly Manual so I could figure out the same. No scanner here at the house.

If you find a source for a factory radio (or one that looks reasonably factory for a reasonable price - even a dummy radio face that looks like a radio and fits the factory holes) please let me know! I've been looking for something to fit in the stock location for a while and the aftermarket and reproduction ones I've found are neither good looking or priced low enough. Good luck with the truck!
