If you look underneath the truck around the drivers seat area you will see a rubber plug. Take off the door sill on the inside and the carpet will pull up so you can access the plug, poke a hole in it so you can run the wire through it (for the sending unit). That's how I did it, you can also go through the plug in the firewall.

You're looking for cartmanea's thread, he's where I got the idea to do mine in the dash from:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ts-o-pics.html
You cut a 2" hole in the dash cover, here's mine:
My gauge came with more than enough wiring, but you need maybe 4-5 feet for each of the two or three wires on the sending unit, and about 3 more feet cut up for the power, ground, and maybe the dash dimmer splice. If it didn't come with any wiring at all, go to Wal Mart or Autozone and buy 5 rolls of wire in different color and make your own harness up.
