Default New Guy Here, '63 GMC Shorty Stepside

Hello ladies and gents. New guy here on this page, picked up an old '63 Ranch Truck, down here in SE Arizona. I named it Buford. It's had a lot of mods done to it, mostly the past owners did a reasonably good job of it. Disk brake front suspension, 283 V8, '68-72 rear fenders that are starting to grow on me. That said, it has a Chevy instrument cluster in it and that just bugged me. A 64-66 GMC cluster popped up on eBay and I picked it up for $50 shipped. It's in pretty good shape and I'm pleased with it. I'm modifying the wiring harness with female bullet terminals to connect to the pins as it seems that the 11-pin connector is made of unobtanium. I drew up a pinout of the connector and only then found the discussion and associated schematic supplied by AZKen (thanks for that). I have a the '63 color schematic from classiccarwiring.com that's helpful (and easy to read).
All kinds of projects coming up, sure appreciate this forum and the wealth of knowledge here.
