3 hole gauge cluster modified?

I'm looking for ideas. I have a 68 GMC with a 3 hole gauge cluster. I put a 5.3 ls in the truck. can you add a clock or tach behind the center hole and keep the turn signals? curious to see any mods.
thanks Bryan

I think the hardest part is finding gauges to fit. Use the search, others have done it with after market Sun gauges etc... I did the other option, custom glove box door with 93 Caprice bezel mounted with some after market gauges.

You would have to relocate turn indicators to the same position as the full gauge clusters have. I see people using the small green led lights there.

Years ago I did the mods to put a factory tach in that spot. The tin has to be modified ( hole with rolled edge) It came out very nice but still a lot of work to make it look right.

I have thought about a clock from a 65 Chevelle in that spot as well.
