This wiring thing, if I hadn't already said, is a trial and error situation.
I couldn't wait to get out to the shop and try to wire up something. The more I studied it the more I realized I need to do the gauge wiring in the truck. If I was more experienced at it I could do it on the bench, maybe. In a nut shell I did one wire, and it was the one that goes to the clock from batt power. Installing the fuse block and running the gauge harness from American Wire I should have the excess I need to complete the home made gauge harness. Sounds good in theory. Here are some pics of my my first wire. Took a little figuring out since the instructions didn't match the crimper.
BTW I emailed Super Brite LED's to ask them if they had a LED that would go into a 5/8" hole for the gauge lights. I looked around the site some more and couldn't locate exactly what I needed. There were some twist locks, but no snap ins. So we'll see.
