opening up dashboard

[Gardner Yeaw]

OK, I need to lift up the dash board in my 78FC33 to replace some
switches. I am contemplating using indicator switches so I can see at a
glance what is on and off. I also need to get the guage lights to work.

That said, I realize that I can create new problems since the
connections are pretty old and perhaps corroded and ready to break. I
won't do it when I have a trip planned but will wait until the season
ends and I am down for the winter. I suppose I need to reach under and
disconnect the tach and spedometer cables. Are there any other common
connections that need to be addressed prior to lifting? Also, should I
lift from the front or rear?
