If your truck has guages in the dash, the diagram below is the one you need.

Franklin2,
I attempted to "REP" you for your quick and helpful ways, but was told that I am in "REP Jail".
Thanks for helping others!

The clusters with two gauges + 2 idiot lights have just that.
Those with the gauges Dave is referring to have 4 gauges - fuel level, water temp, amps, oil pressure - and no idiot lights.

If you have a ammeter, use the diagram above. I have another one if you do not have a ammeter(the one that has "D" and "C" in it).

The lamps at the top of the cluster are your various indicators - high beams, turn signals, etc. - and are not traditionally known as idiot lights.
