Dash gauge swaps

[WRMZ71]

I know this has been beat to death in a similar format but my question swerves from the typical a little bit. Now I know you can change the wiring to convert a dummy light dash into gauges, but can you convert a gauges into dummy light? Either that or for you guys that took out the original stock oil, temp/ extra gauges and put different ones in, what did you do to the wiring on the back? I want the gauges dash so I can stick my tack in the middle and still have the turn signal indicators but I don't want the stock gauges along the bottom. Reason being I want to know more than just cold/hot Can anybody help me out here? Thanks
