Is the gauge cluster with all gauges interchangable with the idiot light version? I bought a 69 truck thats missing intr panel. I bought a used one
but im not sure which one the truck had originally. I did not buy printed panel version. After looking close at plug from truck to gauge, all the wires match up except two. The gauge cluster has a red and yellow wire , my truck plug at those two spots are different.

Re: 69 Instrument panel
Do some searching on the "shunt".
My admittedly somewhat foggy recollection is that the trucks with gauges had an AMP gauge and had a shunt in the wiring harness per the wiring diagram. I do not know if anyone ever got it working in a non gauge truck.
You should be able to get a voltmeter working, you'll likely have to change the sender if it is a non-gauge truck to get oil pressure working.

Re: 69 Instrument panel
The oil sender will tell you what used to be there, a small, flat one was used with a light, larger, bulbous one for a gauge.
