Voltmeter

I like the looks of my 78 instruments and don't want any hang on gauges. Has anyone found a voltmeter to replace the amp gauge. I was looking for something that would slip into the original cluster and look similar to the other gauges, maybe something from the larger trucks? I know it would require some wiring changes but it's the correct look that I'm after. Thanks

Getting a voltmeter that reads upside down is the trick. A voltmeter from a 70's 280Z will work with some fabrication etc. See pic below:

A digital meter can be cobbled in also. I have seen some available aftermarket recently from this place:
