Re: 68 workhorse
im not sure if i posted but i figured out the red wire went to the starter. the black wire im still not sure, maybe its a ground wire. something is also draining the battery.
besides that when i plugged in the wires to the replacement ignition i messed up on the radio one because it doesnt save the presets.

Re: 68 workhorse
it doesnt have the stock radio, already had an aftermarket pioneer TAPE player lol. its just that they hacked off the original ignition harness and used slide connects. soo i just tried to pop those in the new ingition as they were on the original. but some of the wires were also just hanging because they came off the connects so idk if i put them right. id like to put those wires back on a ignition harness if possible.
rick, i just got off the phone with my insurance company not too long ago, its now tagged and insured and i may test drive it some more. i do have to go and check all the brake lines etc.

Re: 68 workhorse
Im out and about. Got more pixs ill post when im home. Drove the truck around and it drove smooth.
When i was dow. The street from my house a cop pulled me over because te exhaust smoked too much. I also forgot my wallet and to put the tags on so he wanted to tow it... Haha i bet they would have charged an arm and a leg jusy to move it one block. My girl came over with the wallet and tags and he let me go but he says if he see's me driving it again he will pull me over and give me a ticket and ill have to take it to a shop were they will make me rebuild it until it doesnt smoke. I think im going to put the engine from the 72 in the 68 and then get a loan and get a crate for the 72.. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 68 workhorse
Today was the first day of spring break.
I was able to find the error with the signals not functioning correctly. Heres some new pixs of something i discovered. I have no idea what it is. the connection is mounted on my bumper and behind it there are lines that go to my struts. It looks like i can air up the struts????

Re: 68 workhorse
looks like they are used as helper springs. For if you have a heavier load in the bed.
