Just a quick question on a dash bezal

Hey it has been awhile since we have posted or even did much work on his truck. Its been broke down for over 2 months know damn transmission (turbo350.) Anyways we have a quick question, he got a dash bezal from a 70 and we see it is a little different from his 68 the holes for the lights and wipers are different. Can we just move the wiper switch over to the right side? With out any or much wiring ? The bezal he got is in a little better shape than his.. Thanks for all the help..

Yes, you can move the wiper switch over. I just did that with the '67 Panel Truck. I had to add to the length of the wires to make it work though.

Kool, what did you have to do to get the aftermarket gauges to fit in the old bezal?

Might have to file a tiny amount where the locating tab goes for the switch. For some reason, and I don't know the details, but I had to file to get one of the switches to fit.
