It seems to me I'll need to borrow the backing plates and brake assembly off a later F250. Has anybody tried this?

When I converted mine I kept the 6v solonoid and it worked fine for over a year. However it is a pretty cheap part and you might want to replace it just for piece of mind. ~Dan >> What an understatement. My old 6v solenoid worked fine, lasted about a year... then left me stranded on a dark county road in Texas. Had to call wife to come tow me home, and in process burned up clutch on second truck getting it home. A $10 part cost me $400 clutch. What a night, ha! I would keep a 12v solenoid handy just in case.

Well, the *best* way is probably to convert to 12 volts... Assuming that you don't wanna do that, the *easiest* way is to buy a 6-12 volt convertor/isolator. It's been probably 20 years since I bought one, but they used to be available and probably still are. I've also built several of them, they aren't too hard to put together if you don't mind winding your own transformer and soldering some parts together. I could probably come up with a schematic if anyone was serious about building their own...
