Temperature gauge easy fix it’s either sending unit or wire, gauges are pretty bomb proof easy access

Fuel gauge probably needs to be dropped there is access to the ground and wire

Amp gauge you’re on your on, I’ve studied that for years still don’t understand how it works, got lost when it talked about a shunt wire

I’m hardly an electrician, but all that really means is that the measurement is indirect(running through a parallel circuit) instead of piping the whole truck’s power through a much more robust and expensive meter. IIRC the 64-ish trucks still had direct measurement

When I was a kid, I plugged my shiny new Radio Shack Multimeter(set to Amps) into an AC socket, and learned in about 1/60 of a second that direct measurement has it’s problems
