I have a 85 k10. I'm looking into dealing gauges but to a newer look. I have a set of 88-98 gauges with tack. I also have the factory 88-98 connector also with wire pig tails. I'm not having any luck finding a pin out diagram.

Hmmm I’m assuming you have 88-95 gauges and some 95 gauges were the newer interior style.
When it comes to gauges you really want to know WHAT year they came out of. GM was good at moving things around. They look the same from the front but it’s not quite plug and play.
Also your speedo for sure won’t work.
You’ll need VSS input and your 85 won’t have that without swapping transmissions/ engine or buying a signal box.
For the actual pinouts, this site is more likely to give you SQUAREBODY diagrams and they have been referenced 100 times on here. If you want 88-98 wiring,
Try GMT400 it’s a good site for that question
