Looking for a drop in, identical replacement oil gauge for my 68 C10, but with electric, not mechanical input...(using a sending unit)

Does this exist ?

I'm not sure if there's a drop-in gauge, but I modified my panel to use mid-80s square body oil pressure gauge and voltmeter. It's not a trivial modification. You can see where the later model gauges have to sit higher.
