Re: My 68 swb build.
Use lots of soapy water or some guys use wd-40 to lube them up. Put the whole gasket in, put the glass in at the bottom and let the weight hold it in place, just work your way around with a dull/rounded pick or windshield tool. Easy said than done. I have cracked a few in my time

Re: My 68 swb build.
No you do not have to use it...... it is a good idea from a safety standpoint........ trucks with manual trans do not have them.....

Re: My 68 swb build.
notice that plug in the link is a long straight rectangle. Ours are half moon shaped...there is an adapter (about $15) that connects the two...
