There are no gauges that will directly replace the stock ones, you'd have to fabricate something.

Im putting in a Covans Dash with new Autometer gauges. I haven't put them in yet. Im still reading the instructions on the wiring. I think I have it all figured out and will attempt putting in the new dash in the next few days.

Well, I got them in, but some of the gauges dont work or light up, and some light up but don't work. DAMM. Gonna have to pull it all apart tomorrow and what the hell I did wrong. I've never done any type of wiring before, so Im on a learning curve.
