Could be the tachometer trigger wire. Did either the new or old cab have a tach?

That bulkhead connector is all engine bay related accessories and components. That should be pink and black, color is faded. By the connector, looks like tach connector at the distributor cap.

Windshield squirter?

Brake combination valve? I think my brake valve wire is tan/white though.

I believe it's oil pressure. For gauge.
