I have a couple fuel level gauges from 47-53 trucks and while installing one I found that the sender wire post is connected to ground (like the gauge housing). Is this correct? I would think it would never change it's reading from the fuel sender. I tested another and it didn't do this. I figured the first one was bad until I read that the GMC might be different?

The post shouldn't be connected to ground. Replace it with one that shows a change in resistance when the float arm is moved through it's travel and you should be set.
