Can I put the factory gauge cluster in place of my basic gauges and just install the correct sending units or is there something else I need to do?

I just dropped the gauge cluster on the '71 Cheyenne last night. Had too many bulbs dead, to suit my night-driving preferences. Had to take it out 'just so', but it cleared the spotlamp and the steering wheel. Had a fun time with the oil pressure line- it's not as flexible as the one on my '83 Benz diesel sedan, so I had a bit of a leak. I probably won't have to worry about the dash rusting out, though.

Tach is just 12 volts to the fuse block, negative is to the coil

Temperature is to the sending unit in the head

Amp gauge.....still confused on this, but the guys in the electrical section can give you straight answers

So, to answer your question, yes....just buy a 7 hole dash bezel, and start filling in the holes

thanks
