I used some aftermarket gauges and speedo when I did mine. Keep in mind that our fuel gauge is a 30ohm and not the common 90 ohm.
The speedo and fuel gauge are auto meter and I used an inexpensive tripple gauge set from Autozone for the volt, oil and temp . I used some small green lights forr the turn signals and a red light for the high beam indicator.
Its an easy project .

For the Spedo I used a 3 3/8 " Automeetr speedo, and the rest were standard
2" gauges. I used my original cluster to make a patern on masonite board Drilled out the hoels and covered it with some chrome sign tape.
It was ony to be a temp fix but its been on for a while. I can take some photos for you if you like.
