Got a lot done today on the 68. Got the harmonic balancer on and pulled all the stuff off the cab to get it ready to pull next week. All the linkage for the 3 speed is disconnected and the clutch pedal assembly is out along with the hand brake speedo and all the rest of the wiring. Pulled the dash & dash pad along with the harness out of it and stripped it down after I got home and found a few problems with it but fixed them. The main cluster plug had paint all over the connections so I don't see how it could have worked. One wire which I think was the dash light grey wire was bad so I put a crimp connector on it.
I have really enjoyed my daughter being around in the shop while we work on it.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811.
