Dash Cluster Wiring

I pulled the cluster out of my 64 to install a new bezel. Its ready to go back in.


At the last second I realized that Im not sure what wire goes where, Im not sure it was correct when I pulled the cluster.


The cluster has been out before, the truck had a complete repaint by the PO.


When the engine cranks the gen and oil light do not come on, should they?


Can anyone post what color wires go where? Thanks

When the engine is cranking ( key in the stat position ) power only goes to the Starter and ignition so the lights not being lit is normal......

I got tired of messing with it today and bolted it back together so I could drive the truck tonight, it hasn't been on the road for about 3 weeks.


Once it was all bolted up, everything started working properly.


It has to come back out, I don't have the gasket that goes around the cluster, I was planning on reusing the old one, but once it was out of the truck I saw that it would not separate from the old cluster without tearing it up.


New problem, the tail lights appear to be wired backwards. Both elements are lit when the lights are on.
