Question Heater Control Panel Question

Hello All,

I have a question concerning the '87-'96 F-Series Trucks, specifically I want to know about the heater control panel. . . Were there any of these trucks that came WITHOUT A/C!?

The reason I am asking is because I am wanting to retrofit the entire dash out of one of these trucks into an '84 F-250 in order to update it and get rid of that fugly '80's dash. I don't have A/C, and don't want it, and would just like to have an appropriate heater control panel.

Thanks,
Nathan

Heater Control Panel Question

Racerguy,

Well, I asked partly out of frustration because these trucks are everywhere around here (SW Missouri), but as of yet I have not been able to find A SINGLE ONE WITHOUT A/C. Today I went to the dealer and asked this question and they said "yes, there were some that were made without A/C, but most were delivered up north". I see that you are in Canada, so perhaps this is the case. . .

Thanks,
Nathan

I've done some swapping on my truck, and I don't think you can put a '92-97 dash in an older body. At least not without a LOT of modification. I know it's fairly easy to put an '87-91 dash in an '80-86, and I even put an '88 A/C panel in my '83 dash.
