Are you planning to use original style gauges, ribbon wiring etc?

Mine was a mess. Tossed it aside and bought a gauge type bezel and hard wired in the 4 lower gauges I wanted. Used a pair of 6 connector trailer plugs to allow for easier future removal, and wired them into the stock wiring harness. Replaced the 6 push and twist "night lights" with side marker light sockets and bulbs.

It took a while to trace out the wiring but it worked the 1st time and I'm happy with the results.
