I ordered my gauges from www.genosgarage.com and they came with all the hardware needed to install the gauge. (Wires and such, not a tap).

They, thanks crossy and rollin coal. Thats just was Ill do, I was under the impression that their was not a guage pillar of our trucks, theres a boy that makes custom ones over at 1stgen.org and I was fixen to buy one for 300 bucks. Glad yall told me that. Anyway that mechanic went in through the front of the timing case and said He found the keyway to the injector pump gear sitting on something, Didnt ask many questions but he says the truck purrs now. Im driving it out here around the 7th of June. Wouldnt hurt for a few people to be prayin I make it out here! I bet ill be fine.

It's a 2 gauge pod, and the top gauge can be a little difficult to see.

Geno's has a bunch of different gauge brands and styles, so go to www.genosgarage.com and find the ones you like to get a price. I recommend Isspro gauges.

Depending on mechanical or eletric gauges. I've got around 500 in all mine, all mechanical. You probably want a tach.
