Nice man. I've been thinking about make a custom dash for mine (I'm going to be puting in a custom built wiring harnes and I wanted to get away from those gagues), but I was having a hard time decideding if I'd like the look of a custom dash... well I'm convinced now I'm gonna go for it... only problem I see it that you used white faced gagues.... I personaly don't like them.... but hay looks good =)

Nothing to it, wire to sending unit, hot wire and ground.

Actually I don't even have the stock tank anymore. I have a 50 gal step tank out of a large moving van (U-HAUL) installed in the bed of the truck. I did however have to bend the arm on the sending unit a bit to adjust. I have it set so at empty I still have a little more than 1/8th of a tank. 1976
