1960 instrument panel question, advice

My project did not come with any instrument panel or the instrument panel bezel.

I see in most aftermarket instrument panels that says I need to supply my own bezel. Are these easy to find or are there aftermarkets made?

* I really like the look of the original, of course I'd rather have actual gauges for oil pressure and voltage than an idiot light.

If I could find a working original would it work with my set up? I'm running a Chevy 350 with a Holley sniper 2 and a 400 turbo transmission. Would I have to change the engine sensors for coolant and oil pressure to accommodate idiot lights versus gauges?

OR is there a slightly later model instrument panel that would have gauges but yet maintained that period Correct look?

If all else fails there are some aftermarket $400-ish types on Amazon that are listed as "restro" that don't look horrible.. but again I need my own bezel.

There is a company here in Michigan that makes a beautiful instrument panel that looks original but is all modern but I cannot shell out $1,200 for one.

Advice on the above or suggestions you may have are most appreciated.

The attached picture is from a recent car show and was in a 1966 Chevy c10. It does have an oil pressure gauge versus idiot light.. if I could find one for a 1966 does it fit right into a 60?

Thank you
