Truck wiring schematic?

Hey y'all,
I have a 1985 F250 with a 351W gas job under the hood. Well the guy I bought it from plowed with it and he hacked up all the wiring when he setup the plow lights. So I am wondering if anybody could direct my to a schematic that shows me the wiring of the entire dashboard and out from there. Thanks

IMHO the Chilton's & Haynes just suck for that stuff, they try and combine too many
years into one generic diagram and leave out too much.

FAR better are the factory shop manuals - they're on eBay and at other places that sell
this stuff.

As an example, here is a place that sells the wiring diagram manual you're after:
Lloyds Auto Liturature available for 1985, Fordtruck, Wiring Diagrams

Look on ebay for a Ford EVTM (electrical/vacuum troubleshooting manual) for your model year truck. Of all my Ford factory manuals, this one gets a work-out most often. Bunch of 'em on ebay for $10...
