You could use the Camaro fuel gauge but it needs to be turned 90 degrees due to the back side terminal layout and the housing trimmed to clear the light reflector housing. It is also smaller in diameter and would let direct lighting shine through most likely.

You could drill out the rivets in both the Camaro fuel gauge and the old truck oil pressure gauge then rivet or screw the Camaro fuel level gauge control section to the truck oil pressure gauge face. They both share the same rivet spacing so it would drop right in.

You would need to re-mark the truck oil pressure gauge face to read for fuel level but that's no big deal. I have already been working on gauge face overlays to make the Camaro tach match the truck speedo in appearance, get rid of the KPH markings on the speedo & increase the range and loose the moon gauge fuel level markings on the van fuel level gauge so I already have the fuel level gauge overlay nearly ready to go onto the truck oil pressure gauge face plate.

I have a couple spare gauges so I will mess around with it and see if I can get it working.
