This problem has a solution. Do you know what kind of truck it is?

You might try a truck forum or buy a wiring diagram. The coolant temp wire green would go to the drivers side cylinder head between 1 &3 cylinder.
If grounded your gauge should peg.
The fuel gauge maybe purple same deal ground to peg the gauge to determine if it's a gauge or 0-90 ohm sender.you may even have a instrument cluster power supply issue.
