Re: 68 S/C update.....
Your welcome! Glad I could help and let me know if you have any other questions.
My new Ridetech HQ shocks showed up today (ordered them Thursday). It took me a couple of hours to get them installed this evening. After installing them I took it for a short ride, and believe it or not, I could feel a difference as I was backing the truck down my driveway. I only took it on a short drive, but I'm already impressed with the difference in the feel of the truck. I'm going to drive it to work tomorrow and I'll give a better report, but so far, I give them a big thumbs up! OBTW, a BIG THANKS to board member Crawdadfox for getting my order shipped quickly, ![]()

I really like them. I'm currently waiting on Moser to send me some new axles to replace the incorrectly machined ones that I originally purchased from them. The bad axles were causing a vibration that I have been chasing for a while now. Once I get them swapped out, I'll be doing some more road testing with the shocks, ![]()

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Yes. The lights worked great without a resistor, but there wasn't enough resistance to allow the CC to "latch". When I put a factory bulb back in, the CC worked fine. I just need to add a relay to the CKT and then I can put the LED tail lights back in.

Yes and I purchased Ridetech shocks made to fit the ride height of the truck.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Haven't done much to the 68 lately, I've been sick since Thanksgiving. I did develop/fabricate a bolt in pedal mounting bracket for the GEN III DBW gas pedals. Here's a link and a few pics. Let me know if you are interested in one.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
The one you have is for a Gen IV motor using the 05+ Corvette pedal. The new one is for a Gen III motor using the truck/suv DBW pedal.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Sorry your not feeling for an extended time Rob, hopefully it will pass soon. I remember one christmas season where the whole family was sick on christmas weekend, miserable.
Great build, enjoy reading.....that rear end is a strange one, wish i had a suggestion to help. Very curious to find out the fix, as i m sure you are as well
