You might want to try Dolphin gauges or Dakota Digital..
Dakota has a single center gauge with 4-5 different functions...

that dakota gauge does it all but pretty spendy would be very cool if you have an extra $500 you can spend on a guage cluster.

J&B Microfinish can custom make anything you want for these. You can get 5 or 6 holes and either polished or satin finish. J&B Microfinish - Main Page

Also, to anyone who has used the Dolphin gauges. I'm also considering those alongside the Autometer Old Tyme gauges. The guy on Ebay who sells the dash insert with the Dolphins already installed includes the fuel level sender to use with that gauge. I emailed him about it, asking how much cutting was needed to get the insert in, and about the fuel sender. He said there is cutting recquired to install the fuel sender. Is that true, or just a miscommunication?

Looks good gangstakr, you gonna cut up my factory removable metal piece and install the dash insert and make it look like it was installed from the factory that way?
