I am starting to reassemble the dash for my 68 GTX and realized I didn't take any pictures of it BEFORE I took it apart...shame on me...anybody got any "after restoration" pics of the inside of your 68-70 dash right before you bolted it back in, I have a wiring diagram but It would really help to be able to see the basic harness routing and get a general view of what it should look like after reasembly. Thanks

The '69 (rr) dashes are slightly different than the '68 (rr) dashes and the '68 GTX dash (I think) is different or unique to the GTX. I'll have to dig deep for a '68 GTX dash photo.

68 is a one off dash. just a couple little things are different. I believe the ignition switch is different and where I the fuse box mounts is different. the rest I think is the same.

I have photos of when I changed my under dash wiring harness but the dash was in it and also it was a major can of snakes under there but if you're replacing the original wiring harness it will have the bends and shape of where it was whether it was over the steering column or under it or to which switch it went to. I'm embarassed to even post these photos it was so bad and had I not done it there would have been a major melt down for sure....because of this

At this point I think you should just lay out the wiring harness across the dash/firewall and use the wiring schematic and get everything in the general areas. Then if you need a photo or help we'll be here and do our best to help.

Whats diffent here?

And if your redoing the wiring your almost better off pulling the window and the dash so you can work on it with out a head rush.

I am pretty sure that the 68 ashtray is one year only also.


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

The under dash wiring harness replacement was done a few years ago and with the dash in. The car was painted and the glass and most of the interior were removed at the time. When I had a few electrical issues I found the burned wires and bad harness, at that point I wasn't going to pull windshield out and did the replacement with one big head rush
