Fdc missing m35a2

Hello all,

I have the oportunity to bid tomorow on a 1993 m35a2c truck on an auction site.(one on right) I went to look at the truck (a retired fire fighter truck) and saw the fdc is Removed (bypassed also). The part is missing from the IP.
Could it be as ‘simple’ as cutting a piece of metal to cover the ‘hole’ and call it good. Or should I get a replacement fdc and install it. (Eventhough it is bypassed). I went through manual, but do not understand (yet) whether the components inside the fdc still have a function after a bypass.
I am aware of a lot of other issues I might encounter. I have revived three none running m35a2’s in the past, but first time I have this part missing.
Thanks in advance for your insight!

You will see that post #7 addresses it. Your idea seems to be workable. Further down are even some pictures.

Ended up with the 1997 . Left on picture.
Seems like the three trucks were part of the same fleet, but this one did not get converted to fire truck.
Now to arrange pickup, get batteries, push button and “vrooomm”.
I am an optimist😄
