Used 2003 F50 super crew - New to me

I finally bought a f150 2003 king ranch super crew. I got a great deal on it and it needs some work. Truck drives great and no leaks anywhere. The previous owner hit a fence and the 2 front airbags are now gone and the 2 front seat belts are locked. Cruise control does not work. What parts do I need exactly repair what I have mentioned. I know I need driver and passenger airbags but is there a control module that comes with them or do I purchase those separately? Also the seat belts - Do I just need the pretensioners for the belts or is there anything else?

The truck drives fine. I am really stoked about it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Hunting

I think I would start with whatever triggers the airbag and work backwards. My wife was in small fender bender and the bags deployed. What a frikkin' mess. The trigger was IIRC a support on the radiator. It went thru insurance, but it was about $4,000 and the only cosmetics was the bumper cover...all the rest was airbag related.

You will need the airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, and a new restraints control module as well as new front crash sensors.

Really, you do need to have the RCS to be checked by someone trained and experiences or, at a minimum, have the factory shop manual.

The cruise control is a separate issue. The most common reason is a failed pressure switch on the brake master cylinder that was associated with the big recall a few years back (05S28).

The pressure switch on the master cylinder should test out as N/C with your foot off the brake and N/O with your foot on the brake. This is with the connector unplugged and your 2 meter probes on the two pressure switch terminals.
