My truck is a 67 short fleet side truck . We put an 09 chevy truck 5.3 in it with 4l60E. All that works great. We did wire up the inside fuse block and the big wire that that runs to the original gauges was still plugged in. The truck originally came with few options and had the basic gauge package for a 67 truck. The new gauges i got are Dakota digital that look like the originals. The new gauges are not the problem. The problem is when I took the old gauges out and unplugged them my truck won't start. I will crank over but won't fire. Thanks for any help if any of this makes sense. Don't to me but then I'm not a wiring guy. Guess I can check everything with test light.
