I have a 1952 3100, can anyone recommend a good place to find gauges?? -to make the search that bit more fun, (given the spec i am looking to run) I need to find one with a GPS speedometer?? any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if this is the write place to ask questions-appologies if not!

My Garmin GPS has a built in speedo, pretty cool except for the max speed attained feature which upsets my wife...

Boese Engineering. Expensive, but they have some really nice gauges. Very happy with my billet dash and Autometer gauges I got from them for my '58 GMC.

I have speedhut and have not installed them as of yet....but they look great.
I installed a GPS set of Dakota Digital in a buddies. They look great but were a real PIA to wire and set up.
Either way you are going to spend some money. You are looking at about $700 for GPS with tach built in as well as high beam and turn signals.

Speedhut allows you to design your own ...even upload a pic for the backdrop
