68 C10 AAW install.
Very nice kit
Easy install just time consuming

I'm thinking of replacing the wiring in my truck. There's a lot of M Mouse stuff left over from when my FiL owned it. Nice to see that it went easily. Time, I have.

That's good to hear some real life reviews on products we use. Thank you good luck with your truck looking good!

the kit designed for these year trucks do not come with battery cables or ground wires.

di you happrn to notice if there was a different part number for 67-68`s? as the plug thru the firewall is different. also did you have to mount the firewall plug with those screws sticking out?

Hi Michael, the kit is for a 67-72 so I'm assuming the part # is correct.
The screws you see are what is provided in the kit but I will change mine out for something different for sure. I'm going to end up cutting them off close to flush or through bolting with the nuts on the inside.

Does the kit come with some way to cover up the cut in the firewall around the bulkhead connector? I believe the stock bulkhead connector on the engine compartment side is actually larger than the hole in the firewall so it conceals the hole and allows for a seal to be used between the connector and firewall. Seems like AAW should address this if they haven't already.

**MySons68C20** · 02-26-2019, 08:38 PM

The kit comes with a template for the firewall opening.
I cut my hole as tight as possible and the gap you see is overlapped by the gasket inside......I hope that makes sense

I am pretty sure the part number for the 67 is the same.

There is foam on the inside that seals. If you want a real clean look in the engine bay then you need to do a bit of work, or make a collar or something. But it does seal.

Ok. Thanks for all the replies about the bulkhead connector seal! Good to know for a future project that I want to use the AAW kit on.
