If a 300 I6 carburated engine/M5 gearbox (or AODauto, but i'm pretty sure those weren't intalled in any 95) could be ordered there wouldn't be a need for a computer, so i guess it's possible, ask the guy wich combo the truck had.

All sold in the US had computers.
Some places had service laws to protect the service shops and would not let items be sold that would undercut the service industry.
For example Mexico at one time would not let non tube TV's be sold there. They could not have a transistor or IC chip in them.
The same thing may have applied to cars and trucks also.

The first Ford trucks had the computer in 1980 in California, it was the EEC-III system.
The EEC-IV came out in 1983.
Some of the 460 trucks kept the Carb system until 1988.
The above information is for gas trucks only.

So there is no way this 95 could have been special ordered without a computer? He thinks it does not have a computer in it an say we don't know what we are talking bout. But then again the cat got stopped up on his an he did not know what was wrong with it an he says he knows how to work a little on vehicles.

His computer is at this location in the drivers kick panel but you can only get at it from under the hood.
