Fuse Tap ???

when i get to install my new glowshift gauges i will need to tap into a switched 12V power and a constant 12V power from the fuse panel.

I found these two fuse taps...
Buy Bussmann ATM Fuse Tap BP/HHH at Advance Auto Parts
Buy Bussmann ATC Fuse Tap BP/HHA at Advance Auto Parts
the first link is for an ATM fuse tap and the second one is for an ATC fuse tap. which one do i need and what is the difference between the ATM and ATC?

thanks.

if you pull one of the fuses out,which blade type does it appear to be?
does it look as if our trucks use the "ATC" or the "ATM" blade type?

what do these blade types stand for?

Fuse (automotive) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mini APM, ATM 10.9 x 3.6 x 16.3 mm 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Regular APR, ATC, ATO 19.1 x 5.1 x 18.5 mm 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
