I've seen a few of them, the lower left small gauge is usually a vacuum gauge (on trucks with hydraulic brakes), or an air pressure gauge (trucks with air brakes).
If you can find a large truck salvage yard, I think you'd probably be able to find at least one truck with a tach cluster.
Every once in a while you'll see one on E-bay, too.

I haven't seen any personally but no one seems to know if they will work correctly in our "little" trucks. Last I read from 73-87.com, which has a great article on this, you were on your own as far as compatibility. Of course it would be worth a shot as original tach dashes are hard to come by. I still haven't seen one in person, only on line.

At one point, I had 4 tach clusters... long story... but one of them was the one that you just described... w/ the tach/fuel guage combo and the vaccum guage... sold all of them on eBay except the one that i kept for my ride
