non-gauge option -to- gauge installation
Looking at a truck with no gauge option originally ordered on it - will install the original gauge package - my question is wiring harness related, etc.
What all is required to do the upgrade? - Is the gauge harness a completely separate harness that can be purchased from a vendor? - Would it tie into the fuse block of a non-gauge original truck? Or was the fuse box different for a gauge optioned truck? I'm thinking this is a fairly easy upgrade, have all the parts already, but bought them originally to restore a gauge-equipped truck, so knew all the wiring/senders, etc would be in place. Now lookin at a non-gauge truck (i.e. just has fuel/speedo) and wondering if there are any major electrical/sender etc hurdles of which I'm not aware. Thanks guys! jocko |

Re: non-gauge option -to- gauge installation
Awesome info - thanks very much. So not too big of a project - and the stock fuse block works fine, just need to rearrange near the dash plug - and a few other minor things. Thanks again!
