1-- Are the later fuel gauges different then gasser gauges?,
2-- Are the 5t gasser gauges DIFFERENT then deuce gasser gauges? (would think they are the same)
3-- Are the gasser sending units different then later trucks other then the plug?, (if so, would that call for a different gauge?)
4-- What is the OMEN reading for the sender/gauge?
5-- Can a 12v sender be used on a 24v system?

The reason I ask the above, Is that I have a NEW GASSER deuce sending unit that I want to install in the NON-stock tank on SWISS's 55 gasser m62, right now the dash gauge shows FULL without a sender connected, when I test lead the sender, the gauge shows 1/2 when the sender is in the fill postion, from there the gauge goes to empty slowly as the sender is moved to the empty postion, it is acting like a MIS-MATCHED gauge and sender, which makes me think the gauge was changed out, and the NOT correct gauge installed.

So anybody have any thoughts on this, THANKS

To the best of my knowledge, all the eras of m series gauges are compatible. Of course in some cases the gauge range has to match the sender as is the case with the oil pressure.
