lights to gauges conversion?

Question:

I have a ‘79 GMC truck with trouble lights.  I have a spare cluster from another truck with guages.  I tried just plugging the gauges cluster into the current harness but it doesn’t work.  Anyone tried switching to gauges and what all is involved?  Brad

Response:

i believe you’ll need to buy the senders that go with those gauges.  the idiot light senders are most likely different than the gauge senders. -rob – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->===== Original Message From Brad ===== >I have a ‘79 GMC truck with trouble lights.  I have a spare cluster >from another truck with guages.  I tried just plugging the gauges >cluster into the current harness but it doesn’t work.  Anyone tried >switching to gauges and what all is involved?  Brad

Response:

yes hes right, the sending units will almost always be different between lights and gauges.
