Electric Gauges

I have a 1984 F-150 engine/trans combo. It's a 300 six cylinder & a C6 trans. I have it in my Bombardier B12. I want to hookup electric gauges with matching sending units. Can I buy electric speedometer & tach, & how do they work ?? The dash is 8-9 ft. from the engine. I plan on putting in speed, tach, volt, oil, water, gas gauges...

Thanks,
The Old Trucker

the tach will hook up to the negative side of the coil fords have a tach plug pig tale coming off of the plug for the coil as for a speed sensor you will be having to uce an after market speedometer kit with 2 little magnets and a pickup coil attached to your driveline assembly

Dep6113 Those gauges would probably be my second or third choice. Here is a pic of an original set that was rebuilt. I only have the speedometer. I think the 4 in 1 gauge on the left has the Ford oval on it. Didn't the older GM pickups have this style ?? I want all gauges to be electric with their own sending unit... The dash is 49" overall width.

I had a 63'-64' Ford F-250 4x4 that had that gauge in it. cluster

If I remember right they had seperate sending units.
