A few problems need help with

First and most important i have no blinkers. I have replaced turn signal switch, flashers (2), checked fuse and ligtbulbs and i'm still lost. Also i have 2 tanks and the fuel guage doesn't work on either, one fuel guage by the way.

For your turn signals it sounds like a wiring issue. As far as the fuel gauge goes, is it bottomed out at all times - doesn't move or what?

To answer your question subford, the fuel guages as posted before. Also when i shift into 1st or reverse i sometimes have the grinding sound, and yes the clutch is pushed in all the way. Recently had a new clutch bearing put in with the new engine. Don't know too much about clutches so..... maybe something that goes with the grinding is sometimes while in reverse the rear end wants to shimmy and shake alot as if the wheels are not getting the same power at the same time also another area i'm not too good on yet. Power steering pump whines alot but not sure on how too bleed other than take cap off and turn wheels. Vent selector switch is broken and can't get new one and junk yards i have been too don't have what i need, i guess not too many people get rid of trucks like mine or atleast not in the states i have been in. Not sure if i have cruise control or antilock brakes, have buttons for cruise on steering wheel but this is the 2nd steering column in the truck. The antilock brakes on the other hand i know if i have them i should feel them when i slam on the brakes but there's gotta be a module somewhere right. Think that's about it for now maybe i'll come up with more later.
