That thing has pretty much no electronics. The trans is hydraulically controlled, the dash has electrical components but the speedometer is mechanical, and there is no computer anywhere in there.

If an 84 diesel ford van has too many electronics for you to cypher you're pretty much limited to transportation best classified as "beasts of burden" to get any more electrically primitive
