    installed it using one pillar from http://www.truckpillars.com/index.html and autometer gauges from jegs.

    i decided to put the sender before the radiator and the additional cooler in the rubber line. so i made this out of brass fittings. notive the grounding wire placed underneath the neck of the sender.

    then cut and positioned the assembly in the rubber line.

    then drilled a hole and grounded it to the frame and ran the sender wire up to the pillar.

    then installed all 3 gaudes. i have a mini tach(no tach in cluster, tranny temp, and volts(for when i install subs) i also have a fuel pressure gauge under the hood.

    take out one of the 3/8 npt fittings and get an adapter for it to convert it to 1/8 npt
