Custom gauge cluster?

Hey Im not to fond of the guages that are on my 1971 F250. And because of that i have decided to make a new gauge cluster. One with a speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel level and tempature. All circular gauges. Has anyone ever dont this before?

Sorry if im being unclear. I want to take the current settup remove everything in it now. And get a piece of sheet metal or aluminum and have the gauges installed inside of the metal. Id paint the metal gloss black and have white gauges with a orange needle.

If anyone has done this before id really appreciate the help.

Thanks all.

Thanks for the link but i was thinking of making one rather than getting somethin other people already had.

But i might do the f600 cluster if all else fails

If you are going to do it I would look for a 67 maybe a 68 I forget but one of the early one was metal no plastic.
