thanks for your help

I have researched this issue thoroughly. Thru 1966, the pickups' factory fuel gauges used the 0-to-30 ohm sending unit, definitely. The GM CARS did not correspond with GM PICKUP year-changes; it seems this is where the mix-up came from concerning our pickups.
I've read where one (I don't recall any more, but there may have been.) person had what he thought was a factory sender from a 1966 C10 that had 90 ohms
stamped on sender housing; but when he checked it with ohmmeter, it registered
30 ohms at max and
near zero ohms at min, when on the float's other extreme.
