What is the problem? Did you lose all the power to the cab? If so check the connector on the passenger side fender well near the starting solinoid. The plug is a known source to corrode and lose power. It may even be discolored and melted. If you can't get it clean some have by-passed it and hooked the wires directly to each other. It will be the heavier wires in the plug IIRC.

you should probably post a pic of whats in the truck as far as wiring, there should be a 10 space plug by the heater box with everything you need.

The last pic is the engine harness plug that includes the wires to operate the glowplugs (Black heavy wires with white tracer), wire to energize the fuel shutoff which you could use on your cummins. The other plug in the pic that is just below the big plug is the vacuum warning light sensor. Let me see if I got another schematic.

I'd really try to incorporate using the stock harness upto the engine harness plug if it's possible, unless it's to late. Here's another 2 schematics

Ford used the starting solinoid on the fender as a tap for anything they wanted hot at all times. If you look at a stock original Ford you'll notice all the wires attached to the one lug, this is why. So you have to start somewhere, it's one place to start.
