Well, no answers - so, I installed the gauge pod under my dash for now. I got everything hooked up and the gauges are reading, so that's good. I have oil pressure, and the truck got up to 190f before I realized I had left the cap off of the radiator and it started spewing coolant out all over the floor, and my extension cord with the work light plugged into it!

That caused a whole other panic mode, 'cause it tripped one of the outlets and I thought I had blown the whole circuit in the garage. Once I figured out one of the little used outlets on the far wall of my garage had a reset button (after about 20 minutes), everything was good and I was relieved. I'm hoping to get the truck out this evening and drive it around some.

I'm still curious about the gauge question... and yes, I've done a search on here, but get confused as to what I'm looking at. I'm still new to restoring/working on these old trucks.
