I don't believe they do make them. Something about the shape doesn't allow regular machining processes to make them. Several people have tried to get them custom made before with no luck.

Look into the early Dodge clip-on style. I’ve heard scattered, unconfirmed reports that they can be modded to fit. I don’t ever recall seeing it executed though.

I did a little further looking and I found this on the other 73-87 site:

Now, I could see how some guys might not like it, but the more I look at it, the more I actually think it's pretty cool. I'm half tempted to grab an old dash pad, a mini-tach and trans temp gauge and give it a whirl.
