I replaced the weatherstripping, and some of the dash wiring, in my '68 about 5-6 years ago, and I took the dashpad out as well, thinking that would make things simpler.
Turns out it didn't matter, as the dashpad is just that: a pad, for a metal dash, and from the top of the dash there's little to nothing accessible underneath.
Quick shot of when I did this that may help (top of the dash shows original color of my truck):
no. Just curious about access to feeding wires. But sounds like the actual top of the dash prevents it anyways, so no sense in waiting to replace the glass and gasket.
