1955 F100 Gauge Question (Wiring)

I'm wiring my truck, easy wiring 21 circuit harnes, dolphin guages. the wiring harness has one hot wire for the gauges cluster (6 gauges). The question is, am I safe to just daisy chain the gauges together from one power source or am I asking for trouble? looking for some ideas.

thanks

The draw in minimal and you will be fine.

I'm with Dave, low current draw...no need for heavy wiring. Most late model cars use printed circuits on the back of the gauge module to distribute power with only one feed.
