Locations For Sending Units?

I'm posting these questions under the truck heading because they cover three different areas and I didn't want to make a post in each one. Thanks for your understanding. I want to install temperature gauges for my coolant, engine oil and transmission fluid. I'm planning on using capillary gauges. I can't seem to locate anyplace to install the bulb(sending unit). I suppose I could drill holes in the pans and braze or weld fittings, but I would rather not get into all the hassel. Then that still leaves the engine coolant. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I know. My mistake. In my rush I left out a few details. The truck is a 97(early body-style) F-250 5.8L E4OD 4x4. I hope this helps. Thanks again.

The coolant sendor can be placed in the front of the manifold behind the thermostat housing were the coolant sensor goes.oil psi can go down by the oil filter here the oil pressure sender goes in the block .Get some brass fitting and T the sensor and the sendor on both.And as for the trans gauge coms with a sendor that you drill a hole in the pan and it is sealed up by nylon washer and a bolt but you have to pull the pan good luck
