Bomb Gauge Clusters Are Impossible To Find For A '71 Ford Truck

I've been looking all over the internet to find a gauge cluster for my ford pickup b/c the old one is about shot. Only two gauges hardly work: speedo & fuel. I know covens classics has clusters for the Chevrolet trucks but i can't find any for the ford trucks. If ya'll know any where I can find a cluster filled with auto meter gauges it would be a great help. THANKS!!!

If you want aftermarket gauges, just build a block off plate where the factory gauges use to be, weld it into the dash smoother out. Take the appropriate hole saw for the gauge sizes and put em wherever you want! Just an idea.... Like this....

What i had in mind was what red rattler had posted only with fuel level,speedo,oil press.,coolant temp., and volts. I was going to mount a big huge auto meter tach on the dash. But I will give lmc truck a look around

I just looked @ lmc truck and the only thing they have what i have right now is a three pod that can be mounted under the dash.
