Pondering gauges

[oldsmobilekindofguy]

I am ready to wire up the gauges in my c10 and I am looking for some ideas, the replacement chrome ones re nice but way to f***ing expensive, But the face plates are only like sixty bucks so I was thinking on putting the guages in all seperate since they are like 25, 30 bucks apiece roughly. Then i will just buy a tach, temp, volts, gas, and oil pressure gauges off evilbay or something then the chrome dash plate whatever it is called and it should turn out good,

This is just a though and I wanted some feedback on it, feel free to show pics and tell what you guys did, thanks
