'68 dash issues/questions (1 Viewer)

[BearBio]

Can anyone tell me what I have on my dash? Specifically, what is/are the small silver buttons and what the heck is the large red toggle? Tried flipping it and nothing happened!

If it no use, I'll use it to hook up my off roads!

Sorry, best pics. I'm juggling things around to see if I can get better (?)

Can you provide a better picture?

Only you can tell us what they do since they're not oem

Follow the wires or just unplug. Probably for old accessories

That's what I thought but also thought the holes might be for factory "things" and the switches switched (Pun intended!)

I have noticed the silver buttons on other TLCs.

Turbo?

Can tell you that turn signal switch is not OEM. Stock has remote switch below the dash that is controlled by a rod from a lever just below the steering wheel so a pin on the back of the steering wheel can cancel the turn signals.

This is my 10/69 70 model. Would be the same as a 68 except chrome plug would be a throttle control there.

Turbo?

No. it's a 350 V8 carbureted.

The red button is in the same location. What is that?

That is the knob you pull for the hazard lights. Replaced the knob on my 68 to a newer one.

Well, it's going in the shop tomorrow. They're gonna go over the wiring, so maybe there will be an answer soon (?).

Sorry I was joking. But there is a good thread on here about what and where all the knobs are. I am not good at searching but I know it’s here

Dash Configuration Reference

I would like to start a reference thread documenting the stock layout of 40 series dashboards. I think it would be useful to show a picture of the entire dash, side-to-side... or maybe 2 slightly overlapping pictures to increase our ability to see what is there. Along with this we can add...

Here you go. this might be of help.
