My dad has a 1987 Chevy Silverado 1500 that is his version of a perfect truck. About a year ago I tried to get it running, both the fuel pumps were shot in it. I hastily cut the wires running off the frame rail that tees off into both of the fuel pumping wiring and the fuel selector valve wiring. I need some help with figuring out what to wire where. I have a tan/white, pink, gray, and tan wires running off the frame rail. Each tank has purple, gray, and black wires. The selector valve has a pink, tan, green, pink/black, and pink/white. Any help would be appreciated!

Try looking through the wiring diagrams they have posted on this site. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/1973-1991-wiring-manuals.14498/

Thanks! One question though, where does my Tan/white off the frame rail run to?
-
Tan/Wht is Ckt 120 from the fuel pump relay. In a single tank application, Tan/Wht would connect directly to the in-tank fuel pump. However, on a dual-tank application, Tan/Wht plugs into Ckt 120 (Tan/Blk) through a single wire connector and routes back up into the cab to the fuel tank selector switch.

Where is the tank/black wire?
-
I assume that on later trucks they used the same ground as in my '75. There is a ground terminal on the sending unit body and the black wire is crimped to that terminal. The black wire then runs from there down to the outside of the frame rail, through a hole from the outside to the inside, and is then grounded to a bolt screwed into the frame.
