Welcome to the site!

Left and right are always from the driver's perspective - left is driver side, right is passenger side.  Does the HVAC blower work on high?  What are the wire colors in the two plugs (some of the wires are obstructed in the posted image)?

No the blower does not work on high it does however work on the first three and the exit just to the driver side of the HVAC box

With that in mind, the 10-gauge red wire with the ring terminal end is probably the B+ feed to the high blower relay.  If you have a DVOM check for B+ on the red wire at the blower relay.  If it's dead, jumper the ring terminal to the firewall junction block and recheck for voltage on the red wire in the blower relay connector.  If the red wire proves to be the relay feed, then the green wires feed the A/C low pressure cycling switch and idle solenoid.

For details on wiring colors and connections, download the 1986 Wiring Manual to your PC.

If none of the gauges work, begin by checking the fuses.  If the fuse is good, unplug the tank sending unit.  Does the gauge swing past Full to ~3:00 o'clock?

Voltmeter connections are all internal to the cab, behind the instrument cluster.  Engine coolant temp wiring is dark green, engine oil pressure is brown.  Have you looked at the factory wiring manual I linked or had a chance to try any of the suggestions for the fuel gauge?
