I own a fab shop for building 4x4s so swapping the spring brackets won't be an issue. Also off the top of my head I know that one of the plugs that isn't plugged in is on the frame and plugs into the brakes. The plugs are different between the two years and I thought I wouldn't need it but now that I am seeing how crazy these fords are...
I appreciate all the help! If I had any hair I would have pulled it out as the manual never ever mentions the VSS. It also says to use the notch for timing the motor. In another thread on here I found out about the inline6 havin two sets of marks.
Oh those boys at ford probably were having themselves a good chuckle that day.

I figured out something was wrong with those marks when I lined them up and pulled the no1 and it was at the bottom. 
Yesterday the truck ran great. I will still see if I can figure out a way to mount the VSS up, but can't just swap axles as the box van has a heavy duty dually rearend.
Thanks for the help.
