IowaOldBolt -

Don't overlook refurbing your existing gauges. Most suppliers have gauge components. I bought temp and 12v fuel gauges from the Truck Shop for my 54. Also new chrome bezels, gaskets, and reface decals. Scuff and paint all gauges flat black (new or old). Then new decals on all. I repainted the inside of my gauge housings to replicate original.

EDIT: I learned that I can't link full size pics from Photobucket-Mobile on my iPhone. Here is the album sized for computer screens ...
