No Instrument Lights, Turn Signals, Radio
 
After getting the engine in running order, been moving on to interior. It's in really good shape, no rips on the seat, dash is cracked but has a carpet cover on top... anything electrical is in not so good shape...

The speedo - cable is unplugged in the cab hanging under the dash, cable is unplugged at trans

Temp gauge does not work... I bought a triple gauge set and installed the water temp sender where the factory was on the driver side head - works great

No dash lights - fuse is good - hooked new gauges to fuse as well and no lights for gauges... maybe headlight switch?

No turn signals... I can get one side to flash with hazard lights - but I don't even see the 4-way flasher in the fuse box wtf... parking lights work fine, high beam/low beam

No radio - doesn't even come on... looks like factory cassette

No interior lights, hoping it's bulbs

I have a mechanical oil gauge to hook up but I want to get copper tubing from advance first and I'm not sure where to install it

Did you check the ground on the dash to the cab near the headlights switch. Or did you yank on the wires @ the bulk head on the firewall break a wire knock on e loose, when working on the motor in stall.
Did they work before. If they did you may want to check your fuse box for power on lines not working.

Yep, the headlight switch and dash need to be grounded. For electrical stuff you'll need a voltmeter.
