http://www.tpigauges.com/products.htm Check these out here. The think about the gauges is the Speedo is Mechanical. It will cost a few bills to get that calibrated to your truck when you can get an electric speedo and flip a few switches. Plus the TPI gauges are made in USA and I think Dolphin gauges are also but not 100% sure.

I don't know how they can sell that setup so cheap. The Dolphin gauges must be quite cheap.

I bought one of those setups back when I first got my truck. Everything looked good when I got it. Installed all the gauges in the the face plate and pulled my old cluster out. When I mounted the face plate in the bezel that goes around the gauge cluster there are only provisions for mounting it on the top. So installed it hangs down and bouces/vibrates when driving. I am sure you can fab something like this up but I just put my old cluster back in and went with autometer tach mounted o my column and a small 3 gauge cluster mounted to the under side of my dash.
