Sounds like a typical fuel guage for this era of trucks. Check your wiring. You could try replacing the sending unit. The guage itself in the dash rarely goes bad though.

fast77, More than likely the sending unit is bad. I had a carbon copy problem with my 82 and it was the sending unit. I took the sending unit apart and the reostat was broken apart where it would not register after a certain point.
