Need some Gauge wiring help(stock)

How do I wire the following stock guages. I removed PO S&W gauges and am installing a stock setup

1) Amp Guage - do I wire to the fuse box some how?

2) Fuel Gauge - I do have a wire at the fuel sender, but nothing was connected at the dash on old gauge, now I don't know what to connect, ground etc.

3) Temp - I think I have to buy a new temp send and wire up, the old S&W guage had a sender that was part of gauge, so I can not resuse.

I've got the other gauges covered, If you have a Pic that would be great but also hard to do

Here is GMC Pauls page on the guage wiring for converting to guages from idiot lights. scroll down page. Heres a pic of the wires in the engine compartment for the ammeter. These are the wires with 4 amp fuses inline you will need to add if your truck did not have guages from the factory. The wire from fuel sender plugs into fuse panel, I believe it is marked fuel sender. John

Thanks for the post. I just got back in from day of working on truck. I found the plug that goes to dash and plugged it in....and gauges work. Feel dumb for the question now! The PO had disconnected it to run aftermarket gauges.
