Dash Bezel ?

I'm getting ready to order a new gauge bezel for my 68. The bezel has been painted white by a p.o., [they never took it out when they painted the cab], some people! I would like to move the wiper switch to the right side were the choke hole is now. Can i use the 69-72 bezel and move the wiper switch to the right side? I don't need the choke hole and would like to get rid of it. Also will the 68 wiper switch wiring reach to the right side? I'm sure somebody on here has done this before. Thanks, Joseph

I put a 72 dash in my 68 cab and did not have any problems.

Re: Dash Bezel ?

I just did it it as well the wiper switch moves easily just intake the harness move the wires and regale it. The wiring is fine it comes from the right side I was prepared to extend the wiring and was glad to see I didn't have to. Good luck
