OK, maybe you have the 5.5 large bolt pattern back in behind your spacers?

Found the '95 Ford aluminum wheels and made them work.
Cleaned up the stock steel rims and...
OK working on the engine bay wire harness to get basic things working.

Found one power keyed wire to feed the engine bay components and start keyed circuit.
Auto Shutdown Relay Plug has the power feed wire to run it all...

There is one main power feed that unplugs at the Battery that powers everything in the cab: key start, idiot dash lights, head lights, turn...

On board '89 Truck computer contains the Voltage Regulator that failed.
Went to experimenting with external voltage regulators and different alternators as...
