Looking for truck gauges / WTB

1990 GMC Jimmy full size.

Want to find the following gauges:

Water Temp - Electric would be nice, because I'd like two sending units. (one for the tranny) Oil Pressure - Mechanical Ammeter Voltage Vacuum Fuel/Air (optional).

I would like them to; A: All match each other. B: Have 270 degree's of sweep. C: Would like to put 4 of the gauges IN the dash, where the OEM gauges are. So I believe this means they would have to be 2" or 2 1/4" (correct me if I'm wrong. D: Like the "classic" look. E: Cheap is nice...

Been looking at all the shops since I've had a FS truck - and been looking online for a few weeks, haven't found anything that caught my eye. If you have any URLs or pictures, I'd appreciate it.

Don't go cheap. 5 years after you install them and the temp gauge quits working and you miss the warning of the engine overheating you will regret it. Buy decent ones even if they do cost more.

The most promising gauges I have found thus far:

Here is a parts break down:

Fuel/Air - Gauge: 2C5-56 $46.30 Sensor: 712-OS3 $99.90 Vacuum - Gauge: K2C4-3 $46.30 Sensor: N/A Water/Autotranny/Oil temperature Gauge: 2C4-7 $46.30 Sensor: 399S1 $21.80(x3) Voltage - Gauge: 2C5 $46.30 Sensor: N/A Ammeter - Gauge: 2C6-15 $46.30 The shunt 387-3A $34.30 Oil Pressure - Gauge 2C8 $46.30 Sensor: 387-80V2-C $46.30 Light kits 186 are $4.60 each. You'll need one for each gauge. The above gauges are black face white lettering. Some of them have built-in idiot lights.

The way I would want it set up only costs about $507.70!!! What an AWESOME DEAL!!!! /cries I want to spend more like 100 bux. I'm sure all you pay for when you get a gauge that is $40ea instead of $20.00 for 4 is a different name and the cool indiglo. These are aircraft quality gauges (can't tell, no P/N's on page) from what I understand - I DON'T think I need that kind of "dependability" even though they look real nice....

Please help.
