I have a good M-series temp gage, gas gage, and oil pressure gage to put in my M43, but I don't have the temp and oil senders. Currently it has some aftermarket mechanical type gages in it. I don't have any senders in my bone yard, and they seem to be scarce and expensive (~$30-$40 or so) from the dealers. Can I use civilian senders with the military gages? Did the civilian PWs have electrical temp and oil gages? I don't mind it not having the official rubber military type connector on it. I looked in the PIF for sender part numbers but couldn't find anything. I know the civilian trucks are 12 volt or 6 volt and the military are 24, but that shouldn't necessarily mean it needs a different sender, since the M-series gage might deal with the difference.
