1998 2500 wiring problems 1964 to 1998 frame swap

From : txpowerwagon

Q: i have a 1964 town wagon i put a 1998 ram 2500 5.9l 360 with a 5 speed frame under it. i am having problems with the wires. i would like to know what wires i need to get it running. i saved as much of the wiring as i could. i have most of it at least i thought i had everything i needed. the 1998 did not have a fuel pump in it when i got it and the pig tale was cut off. i put a fuel pump from a 1997 ram van in it and wired in the pig tale. my first unknown i do not know if i wired it in right. the pig tale on the 1998 had 4 wires black with blue stripe blue with white stripe green with black stripe and a black. the 1997 van had blue no stripe green black stripe and two blacks the tied together i conected the blue blue stripe to the blue no stripe and the green black stripe to the green black stripe and the black to the blacks. i do not have any power to the fuel pump and no power to the stater selinoide. but if i give it a shot of eather and put power to the starter it will try to run for about 5 seconds. i think it might run if i had fuel. does any one know what wires should have power at the fuel pump. or know how i can wire up the pump to get it to pump fuel. thanks i am also going to order a factor service manual but i thought some one might be able to help. .
