Default Custom Dash Cluster

So I am looking at customizing my dash a little bit, and want to do something other than the typical gauge overlay that you see on a lot of imports. I would like to do something along these lines...



And I am just wondering what type of gauges I am going to need as far as mechanical or electric gauges. I want to have the same gauges as the stock cluster, so Speedo, Tach, Volt, Fuel, Oil Temp, Water Temp. Or are there others that I should use instead and some that I shouldn't. Any help is going to be appreciated. Thanks.


Also have loved Prosport gauges, however is there a better brand or company that would have all of the gauges that I need and to where they would all have the same look? Don't want to have miss matched gauges if I am going to be putting the time and money into this project.

Look at Summit and Jegs, they sell aftermarket guages. We need to know the year, model, engine and transmission in your truck. I can look at the wiring diagrams and let you know how each guage is controlled.
